In this piece Maetamm invites
the viewer into another intimate discussion with his wife as she unknowingly
looks into
the hidden camera situated behind his ear. She negatively
responds to him asking if he can ‘photograph her pussy’
.
The interest lies in her shifting body language, and the humour in
their dialogue as they casually discuss the matter.
The jolting ‘home
video’ quality reminiscent of ‘Being John Malcovich’,
and the sound of the children frolicking in the background
generate
the unashamedly real situation, which confronts the viewer.
