I am looking for the programme of my project might head to, it's about motion object, trajectories, shifting landscape. By looking dust as the evidence of object in motion and the landscape of trajectories, the trace that left behind by movement. Accidentally I was looking for the book written by Paul Virilio, to have some idea what the event actually is, since I was using these terminology. I found an interesting article of photos, "Bunker Archeology", it's about the bunker that was build during the WW2, the architecture now was abandoned and left on the site, the pure structure with exposed concrete, and it is build as a shelter for weapons and soldiers.

What I extent here is the pure function is now erased, but the trace of the war time still exist. The mark of the bullet or cannon shell left on the wall, the raised dust that covered on the surface when bomb of explosion occurred. The soldier stepping on the surface of sand, the tank squashing the land and carrying dirt over different destination. It's the geometry of the landscape that is relocating due to the events happening on the site.
