Exam was a unique immersive art performance, created by Ultimate Holding Company in collaboration with the North West's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender communities that explored queer culture, education, power and politics. The Exam performance consisted of a 1 hour paper sat by 100 volunteers.

The identity for the exhibition used collage to re-contextualise photographs and printed ephemera that related to the subjects of the exam paper. The complex, eclectic and subtly sexualised imagery misleads and confuses the viewer as a means of exploring stereotypes, assumptions and misconceptions.
