The paper skin is hauled up in front of the camera by hooks and threads and left to dangle and rustle in the slight breeze, finding its own shape and description of the human form. The paper appears to mask a solid shape, acting as both a set of clothes and the body itself. We begin to interpret a gesture of the arm, or curve of the leg, giving life to the illusion. But this is a transitory and ephemeral form; only set in place for the camera.
