In this exercise in the act of viewing and being viewed, Acconci explores intuitive perception through intense concentration. Blindfolded, he stands against a wall, his nude back to the camera. Throughout the tape, the camera moves to focus alternately on his body and on objects in the performance space, while Acconci attempts to guess the object and direction of the camera's gaze. "I feel you staring at the back of my neck now." "Yes." "You're staring from the right side."

Re-invented and transformed into a film, live actors and puppets move through a ruined landscape of narrative fragments of psychological and political oppression, a musical, poetic and dramatic interplay of continuities and interruptions, the dark chaotic music of modern life.
