Position, 1995.

Position, which will be executed on-site, is to set an ant free
within a square area surrounded by a steel frame. The artist
will follow the ant and trace his own footsteps in pastel. Only
the size and position of the enclosure are to be determined
by the artist. The rest will be drawn according to the ant's
'will'."
