"How many miles retraces the geographical and imaginary paths of the human body under the influence of several forces in certain moments and places. The dislocated cartography consists of three parts: the body (the vertical identity, the body of the wanderer, the iconography of displacement), the paint (the coloured matter, blue) and the paper (the moving object, rolls of paper). At every stage of the journey the body, the coloured matter and the moving object intervene to constantly modify the configuration of space."
