"The preparation for this video was primarily psychological - to create an atmosphere of expectations of powerlessness to induce a frame of mind resulting in the appearance of a drug induced state. The camera work acts as a controller manipulator producing a hostage-like situation within an isolated environment. The origins of this tape was inspired by the short 1949 film by Kenneth Anger titled "Puce Moment" in which a 'heroine', for most of the piece, elaborately prepares herself to venture outside of her house.
