"Tolosa"

This grassy square faces the Garonne River. It is a favourite spot for a weekend stroll. The municipality has laid down a large, tiled axonometric plan of the centre of town, in sufficient detail that each house may be identified. When the picture first displays, the space is empty. Double click to bring the people on - or to remove them. The passage of time is transformed into a single, ever remixing moment, as the individual images slur randomly into each other. People are, at the same time, self conscious because of the proximity of the camera, and absorbed with their study of the city's plan. Hold the mouse down to freeze the instant.
