I usually don't like Avant-garde art, but this one speaks to me.

THIS is the Mexico everybody loves!

Is that giant round stone face supposed to represent an ancient stoic warrior? 🗿 Now it does.

The Louvre should display the fine artwork. Just paint a fucking swastika on the Tesla.

[slaps forehead] Dammit, I could have just taped a banana onto it!

Now I wonder, though, did he buy a Tesla for this? Or did already have a Tesla and thought of a creative way to get rid of it?

What's going through my mind is a scene from Straight Outta Compton:

"They're burning all your CD's!" (referencing a large pile of burning CD's from their new album).

"Yeah, but they still bought them, didn't they?"

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

For context, he did this a year ago.

Could not find the answer to that but I don't think so, given what he has to say about the installation. Also I don't see why he wouldn't get an already wrecked car for dirt cheap to do that.

"In the end this glorified object with all that technology is just that; it is just a product of a capitalist system when in reality what really matters is where we come from, what we are, and what we have been, generation after generation."

Edit : the car in the picture even shows clear signs of wreckage, e.g the hood with giant scratches all over even though it looks like the head wouldn't even have touched it

This activated a fragment of a thought that I haven't had in decades, wow. I'm not even sure I remember what this is from.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 43 points 1 day ago

He does. There's also a pic without him on his insta and I've gotta say it does lose a few badassery points

The Olmecs or Olmec were an early known major Mesoamerican civilization, flourishing in the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco from roughly 1200 to 400 BCE during Mesoamerica's formative period.

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Awesome, thank you, I'm not very familiar with ancient American history.

My brain is so poisoned that all I heard when I saw this image was "Markus Wulfhart" army movement noise

Thanks, I'll add it to the post

[–] ScrollerBall@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that Señor Xtapolapocetl?

It's an extravagant piece of art. A mad, unthinkable, utterly impossible piece of art! A frabulous, grabulous, zip-zoop-zabulous piece of art!

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

[–] ookiiBoy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

I love the fact that the car will continue to degrade, but the head will remain.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 16 points 2 days ago

Bestest use of a Tesla

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

rad

thats funny because it also means "wheel" in german. you know, like a car?

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It also means "bicycle" in German. You know, unlike a car?

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

To be clear, mucch like in Czech, the actual name for the vehicle is longer: Fahrrad / jízdní kolo, literally "riding wheel".

But people omit the redundant part that specifies what kind of wheel when in context, such as "ride a bike": Rad fahren / jezdit na kole.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 18 hours ago

now i know!

[–] Gxost@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago
