Plattformen // platforms // 2009
von / by Folke Köbberling + Martin Kaltwasser
Three suspended platforms were constructed from scrap timbers off the building site of the guest artists’ wing’s refurbishment. Ujazdowski Castle is surrounded by one huge parking lot. The fun-to-enter platforms became an attractive feature of the hitherto underused park and posited a remarkable alternative to the ugly bulk of cars outside.

von / by Folke Köbberling + Martin Kaltwasser
Crushed Cayenne is a 1.2:1 scale mockup of two proprietary SUVs on a full frontal collision course. The public was invited to take seats inside the wooden wrecks wrenched into each other.

SUV // 2008
von / by Folke Köbberling + Martin Kaltwasser
This sculpture represents the fusion of a German World War Two Atlantic front bunker with a Porsche Cayenne model. Luxury SUV cars are ideologically charged. Some of these ideologies are connected to the drivers’ social status and their elitist self-segregation underlined by the objects – often of military origin – with which they surround themselves. Simultanhalle, Köln |
