Made out of various replicated elements of existing metro stations in the Netherlands' largest cities, this sculpture presents the open landscape around the Eekteweg as a place that seems easy to reach by public transport. Eekteweg is a road crossing trough a typical Dutch countryside landscape a few kilometres away from the small town Haarle in the municipality of Hellendoorn, more than 100 kilometres away from the nearest metro station. 

This sculpture was part of the cycling tour Kunst van Hier tot Ginder and was commissioned by Kunstenlab, Deventer. Special thanks to Alphons ter Alvest, Peter and Ida of Melkveehouderij de Oarns Hoeve, Jelle and his friends. Built on location near Haarle, NL.
