Jane and Jere used to frequent lesbian bars in the West Village in Manhattan. Jane wrote some poems about these experiences and made a tissue-paper and magazine image collage for Jere of women in one of these bars. Heekyung used this collage as a starting point to animate a background for the reading of the Bar Poems.

Hsiao-wen designed the animation to go with Nini Lyon's reading of Jane's poem "Exorcism". The image of the house is based on an architect's maquette of the A-Frame house in Maine where Jane and Nini lived for a while.
