Set against the backdrop of a photograph documenting Germany's first openly gay demonstration that took place in Münster in 1972, the scene shows performance artist and writer Ivan Cheng packing for an upcoming trip, collecting his books and journals. The legs visible in this work are those of the same nightmare-inducing character that appears in the work 'In Bed'. This watercolor emphasizes the tension between public and private, indicated by the intimate moment juxtaposed with a scene of demonstration.
