BMW art car by olafur eliasson



olafur eliasson - your mobile expectations: BMW H2R project
at: pinakothek der moderne, munich, germany
from: 29 may 2008 - 20 july 2008

the danish artist olafur eliasson's longstanding interest the connection between natural phenomena and
industrial technology is reflected in his discourse with the BMW H2R racing car. eliasson was
commissioned by BMW to develop the '16th BMW art car' back in 2005 and he has been closely
collaborating with architects and scientists since then - on the project which will be unveiled in munich this may.





the hydrogen powered car is designed to quash the concept that eco-friendly cars can't be fast. eliasson's
car features a 2 layer skin made of reflective metal, covered with fragile layers of ice in a bid to reflect
the themes of mobility, renewable energies and the relationship between car production and global
warming in an artistic manner.
