TRABANT/self portrait

Trabant (sculpture)

lenght : 7m

wide : 1,30 m

The car was created for performance as a "moving sculpture".

There are many stories (videos) from the beginning

to the end.... It was transformed two small,

simple Trabants into one big "limousine"

There are no official car ownership papers for this

sculputure/art object. I was driving into school

to express myself, but was stopped many times...

It is even considered folk art in Germany, where I was

invited to exhibit it in Berlin - though during

transport the man who drove another vehicle with

it crashed...but still it was there at the opening

in time, then on the national day 3rd of October I

did drive around Berlin but the police arrested me

there too... but still the car will go to Iceland

because it was given to the Kling og Bang Gallery.

So another chapter in the life of a car which is

never allowed to drive in the real world, but keeps

travelling on, King of the Road all by itself....
