This 30-minute video installation exemplifies Hamilton's ongoing interest in how we perceive and experience the world around us. She frequently focuses this investigation on the senses, through the eyes, mouth, and ears, and through touch. Hamilton, an installation/performance artist, was the U.S. representative to the 1999 Venice Biennale, and is particularly known for her installations that include text and repetitive actions.
