Description:
'A video work which has strong sculptural associations (…). In this a figure explores a familiar domestic environment, the bedroom, by climbing around it without touching the floor. This is the kind of self-imposed challenge that a child might invent; it has no real point, yet we are drawn by her will to achieve her useless goal. Instead of bed, dresser, wardrobe, the body now defines and re-defines the space anew.'
