GOGO ART SERIES:

Presents PSYCHOPOMP by Zoe Milah DeJesus

In Jungian psychology, a psychopomp is a mediator between the conscious and unconscious mind. It is an inner guide that helps us navigate periods of transformation, crisis, and profound change. The creatures of PSYCHOPOMP are spiritual companions. Angels that watch over their owners, offer protection, and provide company through times of uncertainty or hardship. Gently encouraging their viewers to listen to what their inner worlds have to say.

When a person feels connected to one of the creatures, a new relationship is formed. Each painting becomes a meeting point between two inner worlds. Angels crawl out of Zoe’s subconscious, finding a home within someone else’s.

CHIN CHIN X MELBOURNE FASHION WEEK
PROJECTION ART SERIES:

Presents Flying Sheep

by Zain Bleed

Chin Chin presents a special edition of its long-running Projection Art Series for Melbourne Fashion Week, this year screening Flying Sheep (2025) by Zain Bleed.

In the sprawling hills of the countryside, we meet three sheep who appear to be part of the herd, until their differences lead them to break free from its suffocating conformity.

Flying Sheep is a film exploring trans identity, the gender binary and the social conditioning that shapes how we understand ourselves. Drawing on the idea of “sheeple” and inspired by a childhood toy, a sheep with wings, the film follows three trans feminine identities as they move from conformity towards freedom, catharsis and self discovery.

Featuring extravagant, hyperfeminine silk garments from Zain’s graduate collection of the same name, the film celebrates the beauty and power of trans women and trans people. Created with an all trans cast on a sheep farm, Flying Sheep transforms the herd from a symbol of conformity into a space from which to escape, inviting us to find freedom in our uniqueness.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Zain Bleed is a Philadelphia born, Melbourne/Naarm based fashion designer and creative. As a proud trans person, her practice explores gender, femininity and identity through a distinctly couture approach to design. She combines historical silhouettes with subversive contemporary perspectives, often referencing queer artists, culture and history to reimagine traditional ideas of dress and femininity.

Her practice is rooted in challenging conventions and creating greater space for gender diversity within fashion. As a trans designer working in an increasingly hostile climate, Zain uses fashion to celebrate trans identity and amplify visibility and representation. She is currently developing a slow couture collection while expanding her practice into film, exploring the relationship between fashion, storytelling and visual expression.
