The woman in the video animation is a contemporary model climbing a ladder in the artists studio. The idea for a "Woman Climbing" was taken from a Muybridge photo series featuring a woman ascending a ladder. The video animation "Woman Climbing" is played on an Eclipse MP3 + Video Player. The Eclipse MP3 + Video Player is a mp3 player which can also play videos. It has an internal memory and internal battery. It is an inexpensive gadget made to hook onto a belt so one can listen to music with ear phones.





An Eclipse MP3 + Video Player is clipped onto the chain link fence which separates pedestrians on the Sackett Street BQE overpass from the airspace over the traffic below. The belt clip on the back of the Eclipse MP3 facilitates attaching it to chain link fencing. The Sackett Street overpass crosses the Brooklyn Queens Expressway above a vehicle trough for trucks, buses and autos. The Overpass connects the more affluent residential neighborhood of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn with the mixed commercial and residential neighborhood of Red Hook.

Red Hook has a container port, cruise line port and water taxi service as well as an IKEA, some projects (spike lee filmed 'Clockers' in Red Hook projects) and small businesses. The container yard will eventually become part of the park which now occupies the Brooklyn waterfront beneath the Promenade. All available lots and existing buildings are being renovated or built on to capitalize on the future bonanza. goofy is wedged into the chain link fencing behind the plywood gate 'no parking' sign separating a construction site from the sidewalk.
