AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Three figures run onto the rail bridge. They're shadowed, deeply silhouetted in the faint glow of dawn, their faces covered. Within seconds, they're in the middle of the bridge, rapidly hoisting a rope from the riverbed below up onto the tracks. They pull it tight, bodies leaning back against the rope, then disappear as they bend down to tie the knots. Fifteen seconds later, it's done. The rope stretches from the bridge to a tall tree. Dangling from the other end of the rope, hoisted over a branch several metres in the air, is a small tent-like structure with a man inside. The figures on the bridge gesture to the man, then pack up their gear and split for the highway.'  (Publication abstract)
