An exact replica of the famous car Mini Cooper S built for the international exhibition Berlin design week by a German sculptor Alexander Geissler … An openwork, almost transparent sculpture weighs a little less than 300 kg, and the author needed neither more nor less to make it, 7000 the most common metal nails … To create a copy of Mini Cooper S in a 1: 1 scale, the author spent more than two hundred hours of time, before that he studied the structure of the car for a long time, and as a result, the world saw the original sculpture "made of metal and air". Stylish, graceful, shiny, like a chain mail for a car, made of nails welded together, a sculptural copy of Mini Cooper S evokes admiration, respect and sincere surprise not only for the author's skill, but also for his dedication, patience and perseverance.
Art for the sake of art, something like this is called the work of masters who do not carry any practical value, no philosophical implication, or pursue other lofty goals, but exist on their own, an independent and self-sufficient project. This category includes Mini Cooper S made of nails, and other copies of cars made of wood, cardboard and other atypical materials. However, what does it matter if looking at a skillfully executed work you want to exclaim "wow!"

Dynamo car: original car advertisement
Attempts to attribute human feelings to inanimate objects are always interesting. The authors of the original ad tried to play out a real tragedy in the space of a creative poster. In the previous episode of our "Soap Messenger" there was a nasty anecdote about the dental family. This time, the story is even more heartbreaking - the suffering of a young gas station, which is constantly dynamited by his beloved car
