In one of the rooms are displayed the 7 circles of cardboard that show the ink traces engendered by the passage of the people underneath the gates. On small glass shelves situated below each circle are installed the corresponding argil receptacles. We can appreciate the variation of results that symbolises the different contexts in which the action took place: the size and the colour of the traces depending on both the size of the receptacle and the number of people crossing the gate while the artist was present, their shape generated by the inclination of the floor.
