Three women in front of a cake made of what looked like aluminum complaining that they want to eat cake, but can't.

Finally some cake. Topless models feeding the guest cake.

Cameras everywhere, most of which were part of the performance.

The aluminum cake turned out to be silver frosting and was finally cut and served.

She fancies herself a photographer, moving image-maker, swimmer, writer and reader. She is hoping to be immortalized as perke in a Ryu Murakami novel, and then perhaps make a movie loosely based on it. In addition to helping run NYAB, Aneta shoots video interviews for TAB and NYAB. She is also on the lookout for gigs with NYC-based filmmakers. » See other writings
