"There was a giant lawn there. And a mango tree with long leaves. You could even make a headdress."
A girl describes her vacation, her pastimes, and fun, as well as the activities of others who shared that space with her. To build this story, Laura Teixeira gathered many adhesive dots. Everything seems well stuck, but when the girl plays, a white dot always appears. Was it already there, or is it the space left by another dot that moved with the wind? The little white dot tells us a bit about how things can both have been and not yet be. Like a story written in the past, it remains unpublished until read, and is reborn every time someone flips through the book.
