"Hout Auto" by Joost Conijn

The Hout Auto (or Wood Car in English) was made by Joost Conijn in 2001-02. It's based on a 1974 Citroën DS, but with a wooden chassis and body. It's powered by a wood gas engine. In 2002 the artist drove Hout Auto through fifteen European countries, while collecting wood along the way. He documented his journey on video. Seen here at the exhibition "New Horizons" in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht.
