This work takes as its starting point the situationist derive, the spins spontaneous direction of a subject that is moving through the environment without taking into account the useful connections that normally govern their conduct. Adrift, the artist added a restriction to natural: the slope. During a semester, he studied at the School of Fine Arts, in Paris, Benitez learned to move on a skateboard (skateboard) around the city. Experience filmed with the camera hanging from the neck and pointing at the ground, ground, to focus the attention on the floor as support and main subject.
