A time lapse video of a resting / sleeping nude figure was projected from below onto the underside of each arch. The setup and content was the same for each arch. The time lapse footage, shot from above, shows the figure shifting and changing position... As the video progresses, the frame rate increases and the figure moves faster and faster, giving the appearance of writhing and wriggling. This stage is only seen later in the performance, when the performer had slowed down enough that the video plays this far.

Resetting them starts them as slow again. The faster the travel time from A - B, the sooner the reset. As the performance progressed this time increased as the performer who started out running, dropped to trotting, then walking, then slowed to a crawl and eventually stopped. After resting, he got up and continued.
