Duration: approx. 3 h — the time it took the light–shadow boundary to cross the street Site: Blanca, Murcia, Spain
Materials: white chalk-based paint, brush

Coming from Latvia, I found the intensity of the July sun in Blanca physically difficult. The heat turned shadow from an optical phenomenon into bodily relief — something to seek and depend on. This discomfort became the impulse for the work. I began tracing in white chalk paint the moving boundary between sunlight and shadow cast across a narrow street by rooftops, balconies and lampposts.
For around three hours, I waited, observed and returned to the shifting edge. Its pace was not mine to determine; it was set by the sun and the rotation of the Earth. My body became attuned to a movement too slow to perceive from one moment to the next.
By the end, the street held a layered white trace of positions that no longer existed. The lines did not represent time; they were produced by it.
