About work

The video focuses on the lower part and hands of a figure who is slowly opening his flies of his trousers. Subsequently the hands reveal not the genitals but a mirror, which reflects the gaze of the viewer. The hands make the gestures of masturbation, and this culminates in an orgasm accompanied by a musical crescendo. The entire scene takes place in the spirit of enticement, enticement of the viewer.
