A ranch sign is placed in the entrance area of the Schafhof. The lettering LONEBASE perforates the rusty sign like bullet holes. On the top of the sign turns an old bicycle saddle and moves the sign rhythmically. The kinetic sculpture refers to the history of the Schafhof as a ranch and adds the Western myth of the lonesome cowboy to the scenery.
