Untitled (Pink Guitar) is part of De Beer's Hans und Grete, the artist's latest large-scale two-channel video installation. Stephen Hilger writes of the project, "In Hans und Grete, fictional acts of terror are presented through the lens of teenage pop culture obsession. The video brims with allusions to those subcultures in which youth movements are especially fluent: horror movies, video games, psychedelic rock, metal and goth." The set pieces' hand-made quality is a typical example of the artist's use of stylistic fakery, which she uses to portray the often-violent interior world of the American teen, to great effect.

In the film, Untitled (Pink Guitar) belongs to Seth, a character with aspirations to be a Rock Star. He uses the guitar to create his particular fantasy, escaping into this world as he plays (essentially) air-guitar and rocks out in his bedroom. It is a humorous yet slightly sad moment in the film. Like all of the other props in Hans und Grete, his guitar is clearly not real. However, its iconography defines the boy's personality, who's world is saturated in various rebellious subcultures. This set piece is essential in creating an easily identifiable character, one filled with angst, longing and desire. Seth's guitar is eventually destroyed in the film after he plays it to death.
