In the Red Room, viewers come to a scene of two figures sitting across from each other. A diminutive female figure, wrapped in medical gauze and lacking full limbs, is lit in spotlight. Across from her, a masked male figure sits in an arm chair, with video projection emanating from his groin region and onto the female figure.
