A very close-up survey of the perimeter of a carpeted room becomes a compulsive and repetitive measure of living space, territory, lebensraum. This proximity creates a confusion of scale in which the carpet begins to resemble an aerial view of a landscape and the lint and occasional hair looming presences. The laboured camera movement reveals the difficulty of the task of mapping. The looped tape plays continuously on a small monitor resting on the floor near a corner.
