In the background are pink and black film strip contact sheets of a figure in a short dress wearing a gorilla mask. There are various poses including a fighting stance and raised arms. The forefront of the image is the nude figure from “Grande Odalisque” painting by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres wearing a black gorilla mask.
