This tape focuses on a painstaking recreation, in oil and on a triptych, of the Last Supper. We will view the whole painting from start to finish. The tape is seen on three screens; each scene corresponds to one of the sections of the triptych. The special soundtrack enables the viewer to hear the strokes of the artist's brush on the canvas. We also get to hear the artist's thoughts. She states: "The problem with this painting is that it's already an image... it's as if I'm painting old memories."
