...It was recorded with the help of a drone - a single uninterrupted frame 14 minutes long, as a sequence of images with over 20 000 digital negatives. It took me that long to swim 800 meters. I then stabilized the recording with software, so I got a completely static frame. That is; an optical image as a pure geometric abstraction, and then the conditions for the performance was re-made in the image, like the work Painting from 2009. Actually, I swam 1000 meters, because my intention was to title the work thusly, I wanted to have a conversation with land art—Walter de Maria, Richard Long—but the drone card filled up and the last 200 meters were not recorded. Hence, 800m.
