In this interactive performance a dialogue was created between the public, the surroundings and performer. Found objects of Brighton were drawn and sanded in a straight line to soften the edges. The objects were filed to dust but also became refined gems. Traces of dust lines are a memory of a temporary presence, an expression of identity in a site-specific place, a dialogue without words.
