Kiss Off is an action in which the performer (using a long wedding dress) is kissing a glass for one hour. The glass has two distinct areas: a transparent side that was kissed by the performer, and another mirror side where there was the title “Kiss Off” with lipstick. The participant can kiss himself/herself on the mirror, and it inevitably ends up kissing the performer brokered by the glass.
