A PROJECT OF TEN DUCATI 1098 BIKES
"You don't feel anything as you hit the wall with 320 Km/h", said the salesman when I asked him if it was dangerous to ride such a bike. Then I wondered why I myself was so fascinated by this relation between completed italian design and the superior engine technique. It is precisely this blend of beauty, speed and death, which inspired me to include this 'sculture' in my artistic work. The painted lines and forms interacts in an attempt to dissolve the given logic of the Ducatis design, and this way make room for contemplation around the fascination of this machine in the mirror of a present day cultural image and decadence.
