Quote:
"In honour of her birthday, [Lisa] Steele presents her naked body to the unblinking gaze of the camera. While the tape can be located within what Rosalind Krause has called 'the aesthetics of narcissism' that characterized the first decade of artist's video, it also provides an important counter-image to the emergent critique of the female body in narrative cinema."
