In rural scenery of fields and pastures a figure is ’drawing’ large, white chalk lines. These lines span the whole surroundings, and reflect the past, as well as future layouts of paths and pastures. They alter the composition of the landscape in reality and on video. The passing of time is indicated by the time necessary to make the drawing and by the ever changing game of light, wind and water, unexpected events and the growing, weeding and harvesting of the crops. Surprisingly enough these images seem to be stilled landscape paintings. The video shows the figurine from a bird’s eye point of view, from a normal point of view the consistency and order of the drawing were impossible to perceive.
