A striptease that is viewed through a cabinet device with peepholes. As the squence unfolds, the viewer is increasingly put in the position of self-concious voyeur. The piece invokes the imagery of Hitchcock blondes and the historical - and ongoing - interest in depicting the female nude in art. Questions about agency and the gaze are set against the notion of scopophilia (Mulvey).
