In this video projection, a baboon peers out of a window, surveying the world around him. His expressive features encourage passers-by to consider what the animal is responding to and why, and to compare these responses to their own visceral experiences of being alive. This piece was installed in the window of Melville House Publishers as part of the 2008 Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival in Brooklyn, New York.
