'There are two females on the stage, who are plucking their body  hair with tweezers on stage and projecting their activities on a wall through a video via smartphone.

Slowly pulling the hair follicle out of the skin pores on the big screen raises different emotions. It also makes intimacy feel like a paradox.

Is it ugly or tempting or ordinary or uncomfortable?

The hair pulled out one by one is a valuable material for which the activities on the stage are looking for uses. Pubic hair,
armpit hair and leg hair form a mass which the performers glue to their lashes as extensions. The aim of the work is to draw
attention to the body’s natural way of working and to do that by focusing on a woman’s body.
