Push to Enter shows us that with the monotony of a day as a working class person, in the current state of the world (this particular state being the midst of a pandemic), an intense amount of emotion can quickly fester. At a certain point, monotony becomes a rollercoaster, by chance or by choice. Hugo, the central figure in this narrative, stands at a crossroads: he must either demonstrate his worth to himself or embark on a path considerably less lawful. Both options will result in a tumble down a morality rabbit hole. - S/W Curator, Georgina Kritikos
