Daniel Arsham has always had an interest in automobiles, but he is drawn to Porsches in particular. “I always loved the shape of these cars,” he says. “Not only the kind of engineering that goes into the power behind this car but the visual characteristics of it. It looks strong. There’s also a feminine aspect of the design….I’ve always just loved the balance between those two.” As with his other “fictional archaeology” works, this vehicle is depicted as developing erosions and undergoing a process of crystallization.
