This work is based on a text written in 1971 by the Greek-born American artist Lucas Samaras, were the artist interviews himself.
The piece is an interpretation of this text, presented as a double-monitor sculpture, with two black and white synchronized videos
of the artist asking questions (on the top monitor) and answering (on the monitor underneath). The text is a long reflection on art,
human relations and the meaning of life.
