The video is based on performance that took place in the 9th Kaunas biennial. In this video Nissim make during the performance metamorphose from a "Hostess" to a "Cleaning lady" that cleans the red color (blood) from her face. This work, is referring to Derrida's text "Of Hospitality"' This word is a source for two words Hebrew words: "Hostess" (מארחת) - "madam" in a brothel, and women's period that is described in the bible as the "women guest"(אורח נשים) or "women's way". The body of a woman is a hosting body- for man, child, and period. And as Derrida says, “Is not hospitality an interruption of the self?”
