An exhibition catalogue for the Turner Prize nominated body of work in which the artist photocopied herself alongside the carcasses of animals. She called the images "echoes of the body", and said, "I want to catch the physical sensations passing across the body – sensations of gasping, yearning, breathing, fullness."

The exhibition opened at the ICA in London on the 28th of May and continued until the 29th of June, 1986. It then toured to the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham; Spacex Gallery in Exeter; Third Eye Centre in Glasgow; and the Harris Museum and Art Gallery, in Preston. The catalogue includes essays by by Marina Warner and Richard Cork.
