Description
"Video live action, created during the performance of the same name.
The video was created as a closed-circuit recording at the same time as the performance and could be seen on a screen in the room. It shows the artist's face, who constantly repeats the word "woman" to herself in a long, drawn-out breath. As a soft overlay, the facial features of the ancient sculpture of Diana of Ephesus appear on the screen at constant intervals in the rhythm of the spoken tone."
