A hand-held video camera makes record of a black mirror that is alternately reflecting a violent summer storm and the opening between a woman's legs. The mirror is a contemporary riff on the Claude Glass, an 18th century European framing device intended to concentrate one's gaze on the landscape.

"In 1969, twelve women met during a women's liberation conference. In a workshop on 'women and their bodies,' they talked about their own experiences with doctors and shared their knowledge about their bodies. The fruit of their discussions and research was a course booklet entitled, Women and Their Bodies, a stapled newsprint edition published in 1970. The booklet, which put women's health in a radically new political and social context, become an underground success." —Our Bodies Ourselves

Throughout the 70's, a latter version, entitled Our Bodies Ourselves was a staple in counter-culture households throughout the United States. Walling Blackburn, as a child, became fixated by the black and white photo of a woman with a mirror between her legs and a text urging the naked woman to know herself and love what she saw. Last spring, a lecture on "The Designer Vagina" was advertised; a surgeon would discuss the rise of vaginal cosmetic surgery. The striking shifts in perception from the 1970's to the 00's indicates the indeterminacy of the object or rather, that object. It holds so much, but wait... it's too dark to tell what it's holding.
