House Of Science explores the discovery of the psyche, and examines the 'guilt' inherent in such discovery, particularly in the stages of puberty for the western woman. It is a disturb­ing discovery, and a remarkable exposition. It demonstrates Sachs' natural gifts as an autobiographer, a philosopher and a true artist. Util­izing montage apd dissection, found footage and the staged, her premise is: "Undressed, we read our bodies like a history. Scars, muscles, curves of the spine. We look at ourselves from within, collect our own data, create our own science, begin to define." (IB)
