Fridriksson attached a camera to the hood of a car to record one frame every twelve metres, covering the whole of the Hringurinn, the main road in Iceland that runs around the island, linking the different regions of the country together. The whole sequence was speeded up and compressed into 80 minutes, thus simulating the speed of sound.
