The performer stands on a pedestal and is wearing a extra-long dress which reaches to the floor. Her overlong hair is attached to the ceiling.  The constant tension of her hair creates a constant physical and psychic strain.  After two hours, she cuts herself from the ceiling. She cuts the hair, freed from its tension, piece by piece and frees herself from the burden.
