Description:
On June 2nd, 2012 I embarked on a 1200 km long walk from my studio in Sweden to an exhibition space in northern Norway. On the 48 day long walk, I brought a specially built museum podium that was coated in white paint. Every morning during the walk I painted the podium anew with a coat of white linseed-oil paint; this sticky
paint attracted insects and dirt that eventually became stuck in it. On the following day the dirt and the insects were
embedded in the surface with the new application of paint.

When I reached my goal on July 19th, the podium had 48 coats of paint. Each coat contains a variety of botanical and entomological data.

The project was shown at the Exhibition Odor Water Limo 4th August, 2012.
