The video intervention examines a scene from Antonioni's L'eclisse and frames the racist and sexist structures with which the film operates. The main character of the film visits her neighbour, who is the daughter of Italian colonisers. Her apartment is full of souvenirs. The female visitor, inspired by the interior, "blacks up" and adopts an imaginary ‘wild' and ‘tribal' dance. The video intervention tries to reveal the patterns of framing non-white culture as ‘otherness', a projection charged with a conception of uncultivated wilderness. In combination with an objectified female body, this position connects otherness with ‘naturalness' and ‘bareness'.
