Kipnis describes this tape as "an appropriation of the aesthetics of both late capitalism and early Soviet cinema—MTV meets Eisenstein—reconstructing Karl Marx for the video age.” She presents a postmodern lecture delivered by a chorus of drag queens on the unexpected corelations between Marx’s theories and the carbuncles that plagued the body of the rotund thinker for over thirty years. Marx’s erupting, diseased body is juxtaposed with the “body politic", and posited as a symbol of contemporary society proceeding the failed revolutions of the late 1960s. Seeking a parallel between the body of the state and women’s bodies, Kipnis brings to light the manner in which women’s bodies have been used as the site of displacement for social and political anxiety, with the state of the nation currently reflected in a female body plagued by anorexia and bulimia, traversed by pornography, manners, and regulations on abortion.

One And The Other Time is an erotically charged experimental film exploring the dynamics between intimacy and violence. Grainy blue tinted images of a swaying branch of silver balls rhythmically knocking each other, mesmerise and evoke a sense of our own physical desire and fear. A hypnotic voice-over of a woman's account of a violent moment with her lover conveys a sense of the continual but unattainable desire to reconcile fantasy with external reality.
