​
Spike and his alter ego (Barnes white rabbit) has been known to sit on a wall by the river Thames in South West London, or appear on the boundaries of his community every first of the month.  This is an on going performance, greeting in the month ahead, based on the myth White rabbit, White rabbit, White rabbit.  Regardless if its raining, snowing, sunshine you will find the rabbit sitting greeting the morning traffic, people heading to work, school, college. He has been doing this since November 2015, waving from 7am until 8am.  Spike takes the rabbit around the world.  The rabbit performance first began in 2011 in Le-Pecq a suburb of Paris.
