Other Information

A performance whereby I assembled my bike from scratch and then proceeded to ride in a tight figure-of-eight. I had a sponge soaked in black ink strapped to my right foot so that every time I made a mistake and put my foot down a mark was made. The bike's tyres picked up the ink and began to form the infinity symbol. The piece became a two channel video installation showing the assembly process side on on the left projection and the riding sequence shot from above on the right.
