Description
"In this videotape, as in several previous works, the artist draws attention to the detail. She shows a close-up of her belly button, into which a glass pipette deposits drops of water until they pass over it and run down her stomach. The light is reflected on the water surface, which is moved by inhaling and exhaling. Breathing sounds and the well-known song of the same name provide the musical accompaniment."
