Muhr employs two worlds of images for his portrait: the singer's home, a small house
in a suburban yard in Vienna, and footage of performances. Images of the home and
yard, made with a love of detail, are accompanied by Lucy's descriptions of how her
private refuge works. Closeups of the singer at work, staged scenes of her gender-bending
act: makeup, lipstick and eye shadow are demonstrated and celebrated, rather than
made to appear natural by lighting and the camera.
