In the video we see the artist slapping themself for three minutes. Each time she slaps herself she says “it didn’t hurt”. She continues slapping herself until she can’t. It is like a childish obstinacy to keep slapping her face while saying it didn’t hurt. Her feelings start reflecting on her physical body but she refuses the pain with her statement. The performance reveals her two selves: one who feels a lot and one who refuses emotions. Hoping the physical pain can bring them to feeling, pain is a way to counteract the emotional numbness.
