WAR XXXIII
CONCEPT IJ FERRARI ARTWORK James Dean died in 1955 / crashed in his Porsche 550 Spyder (he called his Porsche Little Bastard). The Spyder became iconic because of Dean who died in it. If the Ferrari had not been dumped in the IJ, this would never have been a topic of discussion. This is therefore a meaning or value attributed to the spyder or the ferrari, simply because of its transmutation: it has taken on a different shape, but has also lost its function as a car. George Barris bought the wreck from the Spyder and wanted to sell the parts to fans, but it crushed the driver who had to unload the car because the hoist cable broke. You can see that a whole story has been distilled from this. That is exactly the same with the Ferrari: the ultimate possession of the car is not my aim, but it is about the endless flow of possibilities and thoughts concerning that car. It is the story I create, which only makes the object more mystical, more interesting, more fascinating. That’s what I’m interested in. It’s a story the car creates.”

CONCEPT IJ FERRARI KUNSTWERK James Dean stierf in 1955/verongelukte in zijn Porsche 550 Spyder (hij noemde de Porsche Little Bastard). Deze auto is een collector’s item geworden, vanwege Dean die erin stierf. Als de ferrari niet in het IJ was gestort, dan was dit ook nooit een onderwerp van gesprek geweest. Het gaat hier dus om een betekenis of waarde die aan de spyder of de ferrari is toegedicht, enkel en alleen omdat het transmuteert/een andere gedaante heeft gekregen, maar ook haar functie heeft verloren als auto. George Barris kocht het wrak van de Spyder en wilde de onderdelen aan fans verkopen, maar de chauffeur die de wagen moest afladen werd erdoor verpletterd doordat de takel kabel brak. Je ziet dat hier een heel verhaal uit gedestileerd is. Dat is precies hetzelfde bij de ferrari: het uiteindelijke hebben van de auto is niet mijn streven, maar het gaat om de eindeloze stroom aan mogelijkheden en gedachten betreffende die auto. Het is het verhaal wat ik hier creëer, waardoor het object alleen maar mystieker, interessanter, boeiender wordt. Dat is waar ik me voor interesseer. It’s a story the car creates.”
