Janine Antoni. Touch. 2002. 9 min 37 sec. Single-channel video installation with audio. Antoni balances on a tightrope on a beach with view onto the water. The gently breaking waves provide a tranquil rhythm to the sceene. While Antoni walks, the rope stretches, giving the illusion that she actually walks on the horizon.
