A hypnotherapist guides the viewer into a state of deep relaxation.   
He recites the transcript from Dan Graham's 1977 performance, 
Performer Audience Mirror, as a series of directions to the viewer. 
The personal pronouns in the transcript are changed from 'I' to 'You', 
to evoke the experience of the viewer performing Graham's work 
across time and space.

Stage 1 and 2 of the 1977 transcript from the PS1 performance  
was used for this video.
