A wooden urn houses a hand-cranked flipbook animation, visible only through a small keyhole in the lid. The animation depicts a man on a boat at sea, reaching out to place his hands on the very object the viewer peers into. The hand-cranking mechanism references the mutoscope, an early peephole cinema device historically associated with explicit content.

The footage was received digitally, without ceremony. The piece sits with what it means to receive something so intimate so instantaneously.
