benedetto bufalino turns a car into a playable ping pong table
at maison salvan — a platform for contemporary and visual art in labège, france — artist benedetto bufalino has added an engaging and interactive work to the center’s outdoor grounds. in continuation of his playful creative practice that reconsiders the use of ordinary objects, bufalino has turned an old car into a fully-functional ping pong table. bufalino’s prior artistic interpretations of vehicles include a sedan-turned-jacuzzi; a police car as a chicken coop; and cardboard faux-ferrari.

for this latest project in france, bufalino has flipped a white sedan on its head, slicing off its windows and roof. a wood ‘table top’ has been carefully carved to fit the shape of the car’s underside, meandering around its four wheels. placed at the center of the table, a rectangular ‘net’ serves as a divider between competitors. painted all blue with white markings, the ping-pong surface allows space for both double and single player matches and provides a dynamic and engaging place of play for visitors to maison salvan.
