Pull! — Speed it up! — Enjoy! dissects the fetish status of car components, examining how masculinity is constructed, consumed and exhausted in contemporary culture.

Presented as a dispensing machine delivering segmented car exhaust pipes — the “tail end” of the automobile — the work invites viewers to turn a handle, causing an exhaust pipe to roll out. Once handled, it is slipped back into the slot at the top.

This cycle mirrors both the object’s mechanical function and the repetitive labour of factory production, linking the raw materiality of the exhaust pipe to the masculinity embedded in manufacturing.

By recontextualising the exhaust pipe, the work subverts its typical associations with speed and power, rendering it slow, redundant and playful. Stripped of potency, the object becomes akin to a disposable vending-machine item, while its phallic form points to the allure of power, control and virility projected onto cars.
