The space is reconstructed with temporary walls creating a hallway. The images defined by 7" screens placed within the walls above eye level, pinch the viewer as she/he walks through the corridor. Another gray wall ahead with the legs of a chair exposed is the facade for a small chamber. A table holding a 13" monitor facing a metal chair forces the viewer to sit in order to enter this interior space. The videos within the hallway depict toothpick chewing, licking of a bent toothpick into legs, placing and spreading open of the toothpick legs, pinching, and wrapping the toothpick legs with black thread. The monitor behind the wall discloses the simulated sewing together of legs and repeatedly ripping them open.
