color video with sound, PAL, 7 min. 34 sec.
2003

The video is drawing the viewer into the office space, which is liven up by the presence of a naked woman body. The impersonality of the working space is transformed and filled by erotic subtexts:
Is the woman engaged in a unique, customized ritual of self-arousal?
Is this an act of masturbation, and if so, is it designed (or destined) only for herself, or also for an audience?
Is it the exteriorization of an intimate process of self-pleasuring?
Is she marking her territory, suggesting a process of re-coding the "neutral" space?

There are undoubtedly (applauding) viewers who might have a benign curiosity, or a more prurient preoccupation, in identifying the young naked woman who appears to be engaged in some kind of autoerotic act with the copy machine.
