Monuments of the Future - The Last Car
2025 | large-scale public installation, pop-up art design and constructionOn September 15th, 2070, Vienna officially decommissioned its last privately owned car. But the change didn’t happen overnight. Streets once gridlocked with traffic are becoming walkable gardens, vibrant public spaces, and open corridors filled with light and life.
The monument is built around an anamorphosis. Viewed head-on, it shows three parked cars. As you move around it, the image breaks apart, dissolving into abstract shapes with benches—spaces to sit, reflect, and engage.
This is not a monument to a single car, but to the countless vehicles that once filled Vienna. It marks what we’ve moved on from—and celebrates the new city we’re building together.
《最后一辆车》是一座见证城市转型进程的纪念碑。随着我们重新夺回城市空间，并重新思考出行、联结与生活的方式，私家车正逐渐成为历史。曾经看似不可避免的事物，如今正被积极地重新构想。
2070年9月15日，维也纳正式退役了最后一辆私家车。但这一转变并非一蹴而就。曾经因交通拥堵而瘫痪的街道，正逐渐变成宜人的步行花园、充满活力的公共空间，以及充满光与生机的开放走廊。
这座纪念碑以视错觉为设计核心。正对着它时，人们可以看见三辆停放着的汽车；绕行其周时，画面则逐渐解构，化作带有长椅的抽象形态——这些空间供人休憩、沉思与互动。
这并非一座为某一辆汽车而建的纪念碑，它献给的是曾填满维也纳的无数车辆 。它既标志着我们已然告别的事物，也颂扬着我们共同建设的新城市。
