designer's own words:
shelter in a cart = agile home - regardless whether on purpose or as victims of circumstances homeless people - handle life in an unpredictable ascetic way - are confronted by inhospitable weather - you can see homesless people as a symptom of an illness of the society but also as an established fact - dio 21 deals with this fact - dio 21 = - 21th century version of diogenes’ barrel - as useful as a landrover on safari - dio 21 = vehicle ( rainwater barrel, aluminium pipe frame, waterproof plywood ) - transport - seat - bed + waterproof tarpaulin - slides by snaplinks along the ridge in order to cover parts of the vehicle - if it covers the whole lengths including opend out bed it gets a bivouac + bungee cords to secure bags inside and outside the railing - tabula rasa: the even and ( apart from dio 21 letters that lead to story behind the barrel and reflecting safety dots ) bare surface of the barrel leaves space for individual designs ( spraypaint, stickers, etc.) to say: “ for now this is my home! ” - costs - barell and tyres are readymades - frame, plywoodparts, tarpaulin need to be made = sponsorship as concept ( single person sponsors a vehicle )
