Description

40 minutes of continuous biking.

Three dice were inside a small pickle jar in the pouch of my overalls. Once shaking and reading out loud their answers, l added paint and water to the front bucket and stirred. This bucket had a hole in the bottom that dripped onto the front wheel. The contraption fit over the handle bars of the bike and allowed for me to carry 6 tubes and 6L of water without needing to pause.

Dice to determine colour:

2x 6-sided die selected from the various tubes; violet, white, red, magenta, turquoise, yellow.

The ratio between these tubes was decided by the 12-sided die.

The name is from train stations in Berlin along the S41 line, which runs clockwise, the same rotation direction that I bike.

Acrylic on canvas, 320x540cm.

This work ships packed in a box.
