The installation provides a space and instructional video for isometrics exercise, a technique for
astronauts that requires no equipment or movement. The exercises are performed in a video that occurs
in the non-space of a special–effects blue screen. The accompanying superfluous exercise area is
furnished with cushions on which viewers can lean, but not exercise. In the video, the demonstrator
performs the exercises—literally—in thin air. She uses belief itself as support.
