I had just jaywalked across the street (which at that moment was empty of traffic). My partner is far more law-abiding and walked to the crosswalk. While I was waiting for her to catch up, I took another picture of this artwork.
“The automobile holds a unique position in our culture. It’s a manufactured want and symbol of extremes; practicality and luxury, necessity and waste. We can see this in the muscular Trans Am, the comfortable BMW, and the workhorse Civic. Trans Am Totem also questions the cycle of production and consumption.” Marcus Bowcott
This installation has now been disassembled and moved
