​Visitors to the gallery were invited interact with this installation by moving the camels throughout the desert according to a set of predetermined rules. The aim was to form chains of camels called a caravan. If a caravan of camels touched a treasure chest, then its mover could open it and keep the jewels inside or trade them for other artworks displayed in the gallery. ​
