The surface of the paper is
filled with notes and obser-
vations about a spinning top (toupie). I also added instruc-
tions for kinds of 'choreog-
raphies' for an evaluation of a given time span. Dimensions corresponding to lines traced
on the surface of the paper (each line with a different color), were multiplied by ten. This formed the basis for requesting a person to walk these distances, each time trying to coordinate his sub-
jective feeling for time passing and the time that the I had determined in advance for the trajectory. I then marked the actual duration walked by the person, contemplating, once more, the discrepancy origi-
nated by our perceptions.
