This work is part of our ongoing investigation into the commercial flower industry, looking specifically this time at the haulage of flowers from auction to wholesalers. For one day, Friday 14 July 2006, a jack-knifed lorry shed its load of 25,000 flowers across Centre Promenade, Bristol City Centre. At 6pm, passers-by began to take the flowers and by 7pm the installation was entirely dispersed across Bristol.

The work was commissioned by Situations to coincide with the British Art Show in Bristol. Situations has produced a paper on the project with two commissioned essays and transcripts of peoples responses throughout the day.
