The project consisted of an installation made with talcum powder swept on the floor.
Two rectangles were outlined on the floor with adhesive tape, which was removed at the end of the process. Some talcum powder was spread within these empty rectangles and then swept with an ordinary broom. A thin layer of powder was subsequently formed on the floor by the act of sweeping. After the adhesive tape was removed, the rectangle remained clearlty defined by this "coating" of white powder. The excess talcum powder was gathered into small piles that were placed just off-center, inside the rectangles. The traces of the broom remained present and tesrified to the act of sweeping.
THe installation was transformed with the passing of time as it incorporated the process of disappearance through the accumulation of daily dust, which slowly covered and blended with the layer of talcum powder on the floor, becoming one in the end.
