barrier tape, two found soda cans half filled
95x12x6cm
2021
Two open cans of soda stand diagonally opposite each other at the taxi rank at Amsterdam Central Station. Did someone need to get in quickly without taking a last sip? With a quick intervention of red tape, I barricade the space and relate the two cans to each other. A reference to the scarcity of space in Amsterdam, but also to the hustle and bustle of life passing by. Cyclists don't look up or around, a skateboarder jumps across the space as if in a skate park. The next day, the work is gone.
