On the wall above the pair a video projection of a window frame (framed by actual curtains) shows a perpetual loop of a lifeguard running towards the room, looking in the window, pointing at the pair, and then bounding off-screen (as if to find the door and help the dummies). On the other wall, a vintage First Aid box holds a bunch of bananas, pointing at the slapstick nature of the scene, and adding futility to our quest to stay alive perpetually.
