Volvo

2020

Mixed Media
125 x 160 x 560 cm

Volvo is an abstract, Dadaesque work of art. Its random shape is decided by mechanical forces instead of deliberate artistic intervention. Its authorship is beyond human, its form timeless.

The work was ‘made’ by Drop Hammer House, a large functional sculpture that represents destruction, recycling and production in a circular economy. The work is a machine of destruction, a place for creation and also a home, providing room for the fictional Venus/destructor to become one with the process of destruction.

Volvo (2020) was part of the following exhibition(s):
‘The Clock Which Will Solve Every Problem in the World‘, Kunstraum, Dornbirn (AT), 2020
The Rebellion, Luxembourg Art Week, Luxembourg (Lux), 2023
