A process orientated performance where members in pairs alternately buried their partners in a slow sifting process using different layers of coloured soil, sand, coloured pigment, this experience simulated an earthing out; morphing back into the earth,; personal relationship to earth; negative connection, during a ritualistic process.

Process: The person was laid in horizontal position and wore a pipe ventilated mask to breathe, and the body had been oiled.
Soil was sifted over the entire body and was built up in multicoloured layers that created valleys and peaks in a human landscape effect.
