Video, black-and-white, sound, 0 min. 57 sec.

Jay McCafferty walks, step by step, along the perimeter of a square he marked on the ground at four different houses where he lived between his birth and 1972, when he filmed this video. By documenting the action, he connects personal memory with physical space.
