Materials: One pound of assorted chocolates purchases in a specialist candy store in London, England.
Structure: The performer is framed within the open window facing the camera one story above the street below. When a car, van or truck passes below, he asks "What colour is that car?".
An off camera voice, Jack Wendler, the gallery owner, describes the vehicle while the performer bites into a chocolate and describes it's characteristics until another one comes along. This continues until all the chocolates are gone.
