"In STRIP, [Writer, Critic, Dealer, Curator] (1999-2000), Jemina STEHLI takes her clothes off in front of a series of influential men from the art world. She has her back to the camera so that we see her strip off from behind - pull down her jeans, step out of her knickers, until she is standing naked in just her high-heeled black shoes. It is the watching men - their expressions, their body language and how it changes as STEHLI removes each bit of clothing - who are the focus here, from the dealer who sits with his legs wide apart, deep in concentration, to the writer who sits with his knees together, a nervous look in his face."
