RADICAL NATURE
Somewhere between the Stone Age and our contemporary leisure society, anachronistic vehicles are scattered throughout the neighbourhood. You’re free to climb on, but good luck achieving forward movement: the Flintstones-style quad, personal watercraft, and all-terrain vehicle are literally set in stone. This raw, inert mineral material lends a paradoxical monumentality to these vehicles that symbolize the human power to impose ourselves on the natural environment for recreational pleasure.
