Train ride

From Västerås to Stockholm. 32 page book. Size: 297 x 210 mm

This is a book that contains 7 out of 9 drawings made on January the 13th 1996 on the 14:04 train from Västerås with Stockholm as it's final destination.

The drawings were made with a black marker on transparet plastic film placed on the window of the train. When the train was doing top speed (160 km/h) I drew the bypassing horizon. With a single line during one minute at that speed I capture 2667 meters of landscape. I am still looking for funds to print the book.
