“Bed Tease,” September 1, 1978 performance, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, black and white, 22 minutes, producer: Mike Steiner: video tape in plastic box; transferred to DVCam and DVD in 2007; credits at end only, very difficult to read, but seem to indicate "copyright [symbol] Mike Steyer." A performance piece in which Picard, swaddled in a wig and layers of scarves and boas, is brought onto the set in a wheelchair by a young woman in a nurse's gown and cap. She assists Picard into a hospital bed, then strips to a thong. LP then removes scarves and boas, one by one, and gives them to the young woman who variously wraps them around herself. From time to time, LP speaks a few lines from a document she has in hand (in German). Finally, LP, down to bra and panties, puts on a "nurse's" headwrap and facial makeup, then, getting off the bed, begins to retrieve scarves etc. from the young woman as the film fades to credits.

She strips and, while "God Bless America" and "America the Beautiful" play in background, LP and a Chalres Schultz then mummy-wrap the girl in cotton tape. LP letters her back with the words "Homage to George Segal". A Male in a loin cloth emerges. LP and the Schultz disrobe a second young woman who belly-dances. LP removes clothing from a second male who stands with arms upraised. Schultz draws two outlines of LP lying on her back; they play "pin the dot" on each other as audience (the "huddled masses"?) joins in. Final credits include Claus Mueller, Producer; Michael Sandler, Camera. Transfered to DVCam tape and DVD 2007.
