we recently featured the work of kevin cyr, here is another project of his titled 'camper kart'.
the pop up camper is affixed to a shopping cart which can be pushed to a chosen location
and opened to serve as a functioning habitat for an urban camper. the project investigates
habitats and housing, recycling and ecology; exploration and mobility.

the project is supported by FEAST (funding emerging art with sustainable tactics)
however, I foresee a couple of problems
. the wheels of the trolley need to be locked, else there is a danger of moving in the night
. the hard top protection against hail is only above the trolley, so there is a danger of the tend itself being punctured
. in case of flooding, though the distance above the ground is definitely preferred, there is the possibility the trolley will tip over or move.
Otherwise, it is a cracker of a design
Bonus: EDAR doesn't look like it would tip over like this would.
this would seriously tip over unless you were one really balanced sleeper.
like the legs of a lawn chair or similar
otherwise will be really unstable
The project is somebody fucking around with Photoshop trying to be "clever". Fail.
