Vögtli mimes a cowboy in the short version of a western in front of the audience and a running camera. After a riding and shooting scene and a brief love adventure, she gets back on her horse, or office chair, and rides on. A music and sound collage, peppered with quotes from the world of the western film genre, defines and underlines the action. The video recording is simultaneously projected onto a wall in the auditorium in widescreen format using a projector.
The performance plays with the clichés of masculinity.
