keep on truckin'

this is our summer campaign - however on
the territory it won't be expressed with billboards
but by another manner which we will document on
this blog.
the story of the kohukohu truck is an event -
an unintentional artwork evolving over the decades,
its gentle decline was violently terminated when it was
abruptly relocated.
to the relief of half the village which had thought of it as
an eyesore and symbol of nothing ever changing and to
the horror of the other half of the village which had relegated
it to iconic status.
an evening wake was held in its honour with candles and speeches
and an impromptu cocktail party.
the passing of its era was noted in the arts page of the local
paper.
monument to beauty ? metaphor of time ?
or just a heap of rusty metal ? one thing is for sure :
" things are more like they are now than they ever were
before."
