Map

Like a map revealing a territory, this rug records the traces of the place. Dyed with plants, its colour changes over time depending on its exposure to light. It thus records the effects of time and light, undergoing constant transformation. After about ten years, when the colour of the rug has faded, it can be hung on the wall as a tapestry, to show the passage of time in space.
