Set of nine grayscale color coupler prints, arranged in a three-by-three grid. The prints depict a sequence of a boy, standing on a ledge in an alleyway, appearing to throw a dart towards a blank square canvas on the background wall. The dart is an illusion, rendered in chalk on the background wall. In the second row of images, the dart begins to rotate, reversing its direction in the space of the square canvas. In the third row, it returns to him; in the final frame, it comes to rest on the tip of his extended finger.
