Three large screens in a dimly lit room. One on the far wall, in the middle of the photo, and the other two on adjacent walls either side. All three screens have a slightly similar image. A head and shoulders shot of a while male aged around 30. He has closely cropped hair, stubble and is wearing a black t-shirt. The background behind him is white. His face is different in each image as if he were talking or singing. There are two benches in the room in front of the screens.
