The worlds surface is a running ground so putting a wheel on a tread mill is no more ludicrous than a human running upon one. I view running as being a way of escaping, to get some where, freedom and the tread mill takes this away form what ever is placed upon the tread mills belt becomes repressed. energy is wasted but with the wheel and the tread mill the two components work together as a sort of cognitive machine.
In this piece I was looking at how more dynamic a wheel is than a human being, it is as if the tread mill has been created for a wheel rather than for people. After the humour of the piece wore off I realised that the wheel seemed depressed being stuck in this continues cycle, its almost like a wheel hell, its last days should not be spent as a kinetic sculpture but should be spent ploughing fields and being constructive for the human economy.© All images, texts and the idea of the artists work are subject to the German copyright law and if pro rata the relevant collecting society and if pro rata the photographer.
