An installation. One large TV-monitor is placed at floor level, in the corner of a dark room. The video image reflects onto the floor. One DVD-player. Loop duration: 2 min. 52 sec. No sound.

A white and milky substance covers the TV-screen. Shadows appear on the white, translucent, membrane like surface. A person is located inside the space of the TV-monitor. She licks the TV-screen clean and reveals herself to the viewer. Her purposefully erotic gesture defines the borderline between her and the audience. She gets a chance for eye-to-eye contact and fades into the background. The viewer is left with a painting-like image (tongue marks on the screen). The TV-screen is covered again with a white and milky substance.
