long toenails and hairy foot knuckles greet the viewer. after a few stomps, the camera shifts to a wigged head being furiously scratched. Bottles of toothpaste and lotion are disected, their contents being put into a clear, almost syringe like aparatus. Bits of hair are removed and attached to the apparatus. Cutting back to the foot, the artist leans over and says "Do you know what the problem is? You don't respect me." Various colored fluids are then poured on to the artist as he sits in the wood, thick globs of pink and blue becoming stuck in his wig.
