The video starts from four videotapes, shot from a car (left, right, front and back) leaving the sea-front promenade at Knokke-Heist. The perception of this straight street is first of all analysed into four components by four cameras. At the same time this perception is conditioned and structured by social convention in the shape of traffic regulations (traffic signs erected in this street) with which the running car has to comply. At the exhibition, this perception was reconstructed and restructured by erecting four independently operating recorder-monitor sets in one room.
