‘Schipper’s work provides an alternative way of experiencing the world by slowing down physical events to almost imperceptible movement. This slow motion car crash sculpture is actually moving at a speed of 7mm per hour in a choreographed collision. With a dramatic inevitability that reflects our own mortality, over the course of the Festival month, the car is eventually destroyed.
