The accompanying video work documents the artist’s ‘closed-circuit action’ (see glossary) in the studio. Here Rosenbach stands in front of a photographic self-portrait, recreating her own pose and appearance, head similarly bandaged. Using a marker, she draws extravagant bonnets on a glass pane in front of her, giving the impression that she is adding this accessory to both her own head and that of the self-portrait. This quiet and meditative sequence is accompanied by excited bird calls.
