concept of the project “sculpture as a parking place”
aim of this project was to create sculpture – design adaptation of parking place for luxury car. it can be situated in public car parks, also in business and shopping centres, garages, or as your own home parking place.
the phenomenon of automobile, as a part of our everyday life, is offering not just the utility function, but it is a presentation of our lifestyle and our good taste. and it is luxury car in particular, what presents wealth to public. and so in this ‘world of fortune’, where ‘everyone can afford to buy anything’ “sculpture as a parking place” is becoming a “value added”. therefore this luxury parking place supports the idea of presentation art in public places.
this project is aiming to owners of luxury cars deliberately, so they can “upgrade” their vehicle with this work of art.

the formal aspect of the sculpture is adapted to infinity design. the connection between car and its parking place should work as a symbiosis, which will enhance or glamorize both these products. formal inspiration for this object comes from art works of h.moore, f.diaz, a.kapoor, or j.arp.

the sculpture is made of epoxy laminate. colour is pearl white. in case of interest object “sculpture as a parking place” is available for sale or to lend. transport is not difficult it is one piece of weight 200 kg. a matte finish can be applied, for better projection compatibility.
