Her Presence still was an installation divided in two parts, it started with a corridor which lead to a separate room with a sound work. There was a table and two chairs in the room, a set of headphones were hanging above each chair. In the headphones a story is told by a girl. The sound of her presence in the room was very convincing. She told a story about her grandphathers experience of moving in space while actualy lying in a hospital bed. The story was recorded in the same space using a binaural recording system. It was made in Estonian for one set of headphones and in English for the other set. After the sound piece the corridor lead the viewer to a mirror. When walking towards the mirror the image of the viewer became transparent.
