"Watching TV" almost two days and nights, exactly 44 hours long, actively sitting-in-front-of-the-TV-turned-on is condensed 1:200 into the length of the film. The static camera shows a person in a frontal and central position sitting the whole time in the recliner and watching TV; over the person's head the TV set is mirrored into the camera. This act of watching TV (which includes eating food, smoking, sleeping at night, continuing to watch TV, etc.), in time-lapse, attains a "realistic" level through the regular intervals in which short breathers in real time are added when changing the rolls of film.
