Eva Larsson was one of five artists who participated in a fairy tale trail in the centre of Uppsala in August 2020 on the theme of children's literature. Each artist chose an ALMA award winner as a starting point for an artwork. Eva Larsson's artwork was inspired by the magical fantasy world of Shaun Tan. The purpose of the art trail was to include the child's perspective in the cityscape and to draw attention to the importance of literature at all ages. The installation consisted of two works linked by a track. The track led to a peephole in the façade of Uppsala City Library's courtyard. The trail consisted of round pieces of bronze metal with signs from different ages and continents. Those who took the time to follow the trail were led by these signs into the courtyard of the library and Eva Larsson's sculpture "Spårfinnarna". The sculpture "Spårfinnarna" was Eva Larsson's contribution to the exhibition and is now on permanent display in the courtyard of the library. The work in the auction is another example.
