Eight people perform a cycle of three respective actions that are typical of their behaviour when under stress. The dynamic of the work changes ceaselessly from uncontrolled restlessness to attempted relaxation.

As if trapped in Bentham's 'Panopticon', these protagonists and their everyday actions are viewed from a bird's eye perspective, the viewer gazes down on the eight individuals as they exhibit their personal approaches to survival.
