The proposal focuses on using the destruction process to build a chain reaction. A fire line that runs through the landscape. A construction based on generating a sequence of events that will result on leaving a mark, an imprint that can be used to transit from one place to another.

The fire will illuminate not only one point in space, but a route.

Papa Westray is an eroded landscape where human intervention translates as a vast overlapping of silent footprints, almost imperceptible at first sight. On the same way the proposed fire would build a path for temporary use, a mark on the landscape of Papay. A fire that contributes to the connectivity from the functional perspective, but mostly to express the sense of universal motion of the elements and culture.

The celebration of the estate of movement and transit is the main purpose of LIGHT PRINT. First the transit of fire and then the transit of the people, all as part of a process of territorial construction.

LIGHT PRINT will be a sequential event where one can watch the journey of the fire.

The line may be strategically traced to be able to move through the island.

The mark is a natural process of the memory of the event, which will last as long as time allows.
