Huwiler made 21 drawings by dragging a trail of blue sand behind him in his rucksack. The sand seeps out of a tube attached to the bottom of the rucksack onto the ground. As he walks forward, the sand marks his trail behind him.
In a second step, he follows the trail with a video camera hanging from a boom. He uses the camera as a viewing device to spy on the development of the drawing on the ground. The camera cannot capture the entire drawing at once, just as no one can see the entire drawing. Only parts are visible at once. The camera's journey causes a choppy image on the monitor.
