We follow a woman wandering through a garden, observing her surroundings. She sees water, apples, trees, and squirrels, and documents them with a camera as the day passes. The woman interacts with elements in the garden, gradually forming a narrative.

The book The Modern Movement in Art(1935), particularly the chapter The Camera’s Vision, serves as the audio backdrop for the film sequence. It frames the woman’s actions in the context of both the camera’s and the artist’s roles throughout art history.

Book: The Modern Movement in Art, chapter II Degeneration of Technique- The camera's vision, p. 71, Human influence, p. 80.
