One part of a multi-part video piece dealing with endurance. The video was exhibited at the SVA Gallery in SoHo, New York, in the spring of 1998. In the installation, a TV-monitor was placed on a pedestal facing the gallery entrance with a one inch wide white strip of paper leading from the front door, along the floor and up the pedestal till the monitor. On the paper strip, which was several feet long, the hand-written line "I'm sorry" was repeated for its entire length.

This video is comprised of a collection of cheeky cheerleading performances. From a document accompanying one of the videos: "'It's angry but it's a celebration.' Using the American myth of cheerleading, it raises ambiguities about religion, men, organizations and women's definition of themselves. But it is designed to be entertaining rather than didactic." Transferred by XFR Collective in 2019 from VHS. Created by Lee Williams and Angela Anderson. Other contributors include Alexei...

This is a two-part video, both with the artist nude and 9 months pregnant with her daughter, Ola Creston. The first segment, color, was originally shot in Super-8 film by Bill Creston. Rosenthal is seated and reading bizarre dreams from her Journal.

Comedy b/w. Bearded bespectacled Mitch is the science professor and Jim Sutcliffe the magician who spouts sorcery, two opposite poles of thought and reason. Also Sally White narrates off-camera from a psychology textbook, and the three speakers' audio is mixed naturally in our speech, voices cascading over each other. At the end, Mitch and Jim shed their characters and speak in their own voices.
