the enemy under the cover

Duration 12 minutes

Description of action A mattress with a white sheet is lying in the middle of the room. A bag of water is hanging from the ceiling. Under a long white sheet Nadia Knapheide enters the room crawling on all fours and beating the floor with a hammer from time to time. She lies down on the mattress. Still lying underneath, she fixes the sides of the sheet under the mattress. With her two arms she reaches for the bag of water and punctures it with a wire that was twisted around her finger. Water pours on top of her and she pushes the bag so that the water swings over her body and continues falling. Her naked body becomes recognizable under the sheet . She starts to sing a melody. Afterwards, a red colour appears from underneath the sheet. She stands up, wraps the stained sheet around her, and walks out of the room.
