La vidéo Alternative Peeling d'Alice Reiter utilise un léger coup de main pour exposer la contradiction qui caractérise la relation entre l'espace et la surface dans les images, en proposant qu'un écran, comme une surface de peinture, n'est qu'une membrane entre ce monde et celui-là. Parodie de trompe-l'œil, la vidéo représente avec humour l'acte de peindre comme une activité de divulgation de la vérité cachée. Comme pour le rideau de Parrhasius, peint avec une telle précision qu'il trompe l'œil de son concurrent, nous constatons que c'est notre propre œil qui tente d'enlever une peau qui se révèle être un mirage optique.

The video Alternative Peeling by Alice Reiter uses slight of hand to expose the contradiction that characterizes the relationship between space and surface in images, proposing that a screen, like a painting surface, is merely a membrane between this world and that one. A parody of trompe l'oeil, the video humorously represents the act of painting as an activity of disclosing hidden truth. As with Parrhasius' curtain, painted so accurately as to fool his competitor's eye, we find that it is our own eye attempting to remove a peel that reveals itself to be an optical mirage.
