Three figures who are forever at odds live inside an artist and globetrotter: the Man, the Woman and the Casing. For one year they live his life, argue over his work and look at his life and art through the eyes of the three sexes. His gendering of himself and of the culture he belongs to gives rise to unusual philosophical images of existence, often comic and at odds with received ideas of reality and language.
