In "YOU DO," I examine the rhetorical mechanisms of intimate communication. I stage a situation where the viewer is invited to engage in a one-sided conversation that encourages their thoughts through a series of questions asked by three different static incarnations of the same woman. The viewer is welcomed to surrender, to lie down on the surface I designed for them, to look at the projection 'in the eyes.' To stand in front of my naked body long enough to perhaps forget about nakedness, to sit in front of the seated figure who also asks at the end of each sentence: "Do you know what I mean?" while hoping the answer is: "I do."

Alongside the invitation to an intimate, real encounter, there is the collapse of that encounter, in the moment when the projected figure fades into black, and the same text begins again, there is an awakening from the illusion back to the paths of loneliness.
