The flattened buildings of Gililu actively burrow and emerge from the ground, climb above and retreat below their neighbors. Denizens control their dwellings' movements by running back-and-forth and around their soft clay floors, constantly tipping, sliding, and spinning into a new position. The clay roofs contain marks and dents, traces of the perpetual collisions. In this way, the interior of a building documents the movements of the individual, while the exterior records the movements of the collective.
