The performance took place in a space constructed to resemble an army barracks or prison and is divided into three sections with three prison like viewing windows. In the space are placed three ticking parcels and three television screens on three different levels, above each parcel and television hangs a video camera. The space is painted in institutional green colours mixed with fleshy pink colours. In the live performance the artist performs directly to the cameras, operating each camera to capture her interaction with each package or television. On either side at the end of the room hangs a climbing rope. These ropes add a sinister aesthetic to the space but are also functional in enabling the artist to climb up and operate the last two cameras.
