Performance, 2001
duration 3 hours

Wearing a harness the performer lies on the floor as the physical counterweight to a theatre light, which casts a wide circle of blue light onto the floor.

Lying within this light the performer wears heavy silver eyelashes, which prevent her from opening her eyes.

Not being able to use her eyes she scans her environment with her hand, travelling slowly at about one inch off the floor.
