Combining an actual object with a projected object was an interesting combination that I thought was worth noting about. Not only was the projection of a woman but there was red water projected in the tub. Having the tub projected full was a really interesting contradiction. In a way the tub was full because of the projection but in reality you could still put something in the tub.

Again I could not find this video online. Having experienced the video online probably would not have done the video justice anyways, so I do not feel like I have missed out on an internet opportunity. From what others have described about the video, a bath tub sits empty. Eventually the tub fills with red water that is projected into the tub. A projected woman comes and sits in the tub and instead of bathing, the red water slowly recedes into the woman to mark a backwards menstruation.

The concept of time is the backwards menstruation. Women experience this pain every month but in this case, the woman is re-experiencing her menstrual pain a second time.
