A vamp-like female in stockings and stilettos plays a game of punishing the male viewer for his desiring gaze. Initially seductive, her performance escalates into a hysteria that is simultaneously threatening and humorous. The work relies on the simulation of a photographic apparatus via the video camera, which plays with the nature of the screen, meshing the spaces of production and consumption. You Are a Very Naught Boy! intervenes in the familiar filmic convention of the screen as a surface onto which fantasies are projected, as it intermittently becomes a violent shutter to the peep show.
