In 'I Like to Get My Loving When I got It on My Mind', the image of a peacock is projected on a dividing screen. From the formal similarity of use of the screen and the peacock's tail, a conceptual link is added in the game of undressing and revealing, hiding in order to be more suggestive, suggesting and showing to more effectively seduce, seducing to more effectively deceive.

A scene from the film “Gone with the Wind” is projected on the clock dial of ‘Grandfather Clock' from the interior. We can see Big Ben from the window of the room where this scene is taking place. A very mild sound produced by the weak voice of a little girl, repeating “Daddy, daddy” like in a nightmare, and the unceasing tick-tock sound of the clock emphasizes the ambiguity and the oppressive character of the scene. The comforting image of the family clock contrasts with the ambivalency of the situation.

Veritable memento mori , "When He Comes" gives the impression of a pedestal to life: a horn, placed on a table, supports a ball, inside of which the image of a blossoming flower is projected.
