Black cords and only a little fabric cover her skin, a tattoo in the shape of a lotus flower adorns her left thigh. A tube leads out of her nose, her back is scarred and fused to the left.

Nina Sonnenberg presents radically subjective reports on current events in art, theatre, film, the internet, and music.
