In the video In 50 g, a locked-off, close-up shot of a woman's bust is shown; in the foreground her hands crochet a piece of fabric using red wool. Glimpses of the body can be seen as the hands move in a rhythmic pattern. For the performance Tlhogo, Shadi crocheted a cocoon from hand-spun wool of various origins. The red woollen sheath was created specifically to fit her body, with just enough space left open for her to enter it.
