People of a certain generation may remember the character Jack Tripper made famous in the 1977 sitcom Three’s Company. Tripper was able to live in an amicable threesome with Susan Summers and Joyce Dewitt because he charaded as a gay man, to appease his landlord’s criteria for renting to three tenants. The show, a farce, chronicles the escapades and hijinks of the trio’s constant misunderstandings, social lives, and financial struggles. Tripper, played by actor John Ritter, was a physical comedian, who was always tripping over his words and almost every object in his way. In the late-seventies era, the show was pretty trippy with outlandish hippie attire, moo-moos, plaid slacks, loud patterned interiors, carried over from the 60’s.

Beyond the vibrant colors, discordant patterns and the waning LSD culture, there is a transcending psychadelic experience and a “trip” if you will. It pioneers from Surrealism. Tribal art, Trance art originated from Peru, had spiritual influences about the nature and origins of the universe, throw in some MC Escher, and others. The history of art never tires of the eye and mind-bending approaches.

Trippy Trip takes viewers off-road to eye-popping psychadelic and fractal-ed worlds, visual feasts of alchemy, primordial Boschian landscapes and non-sensical obstacles that detour our exchange and frakly, upend us. The unexplainable paranormal stories, in between states, abd trap doors are what you will find here at YARDS Projects, and it will be a TRIP!
