The installation consists of two channels of video. One is a video projection of a woman walking through a scrubby industrial landscape on the edge of the city. The woman walks through the snowy fields, becomes hot, takes off her clothes and lies in the snow, luxuriating in the sensations. The other monitor depicts the evidence of the woman’s actions, her abandoned clothes and her naked body lying still through a blizzard of snow.

“By presenting two variations of the same event, Phillips implies the duality of human behaviour - our instinct to survive and our tendency towards destruction.”
Sarah Nind, Lola magazine, Fall 2001
