What happens if you don't have access to your own home? If you can't even touch the soil?
Digital maps such as Google Maps give the impression that we can get to places without having to be there.

A group of saltpetre boilers travel to a farm in Toggenburg to remove soil and wood containing saltpetre.
Then they wash together in the river to get rid of the cow dung and urine. No matter how hard they try to
erase the traces of their work, some of it still sticks to them.
