In a room, stands a white box (approximately 70 cm high) and contains within a 21" monitor, screen facing up.
One sees a video about the metamorphosis from a woman into a man - or is it only one person? The video is distorted as a result of an underwater camera, which gets splashed with water from time to time. This effect is heightened with slow motion, where one sees morphing and paranormal facial expressions. Mysterious underwater sounds accompany the work.
A five cm high aquarium filled with crystal clear water is mounted into a box in front of the screen. One can watch the video through the aquarium and/or touch the surface of the aquarium, thereby distorting the projected images.
