  • Octavio is captured bouncing on their bed with legs in a 'V', in a gallery view of a exhibition of disabled artists and beds. There is a vibrating platform connected to a soundtrack of the video.
  • Another view of the exhibition; this time Octavio is captured from eyeline as they dance with their bed.
  • A white wrap snales down into the gallery; Octavio's video waits at the bottom.
