I asked my son to draw a house on to the snow. He walked around, signified doors and windows with footsteps. I asked him to do the same in summer. He ran in the water. Image of the house was printed with his footsteps - onto snow and into water. I tried to imitate childish gestures and draw by foot onto paper with coal. I walked in circle and forth-and-back. It was part of my video installation.
There are associations about the word "house": cold-warm, winter-summer, black-white, hand-foot, soft (clouds and snow) - hard (ice and iron ship on water).
