P. Staff's exhibition at David Zwirner in New York transforms the gallery's Upper East Side town house into a haunted house without supernatural elements, instead evoking a visceral dread of having a body. The centerpiece is a video titled *Penetration* (2025), split across three floors, showing a laser beamed at a person's bare stomach, while jaundiced window films, heartbeat sounds, and latex-draped sculptures with wood spikes create an immersive, dysphoric environment. This is Staff's first show with David Zwirner and their first with any New York gallery, following their controversial contribution to the 2024 Whitney Biennial.
