Margit Lõhmus’s project "The Room of Love" consists of several little videos, depicting the author in different socially uncanny situations. At first glance the videos describe personal, tragic situations, on the other side the theatrical passivity of the author in what is happening, exposes the provocation that is directed towards the voyeuristic interest of the viewer, which is feed through the innocent aesthetics of home videos.

In the Office gallery the projects scenography is presented as a situation where all the people working in the office have left for a moment, and a random visitor steps in and encounters accidentally the personal data, forgotten on the computer screen. The trap has fallen! What begins is an orgy of voyeuristic desire.
