Themes of transference and energy are investigated in these performances, which are enacted in collaboration with Oppenheim's children. Of A Feedback Situation, Oppenheim writes: "As I run a marker along Erik's back, he attempts to return the movement to my back. In feeding stimuli through my son, I make contact with my past, which is what is returned to me through his drawing."
