Not faking it: artist's 'orgasm box' goes up at Tate Modern

Her ecstasy was recorded 30 years ago when Dorothy Iannone was in her prime. In a video box, entitled I was Thinking of You, which was created in 1975, the viewer saw Iannone's face while she was masturbating.

And now, at the age of 72, Iannone has created a new work based on the original video footage, framed in a new "orgasm box" decorated with highly colourful and detailed patterns which act as a background to two central figures of a naked man and woman.
