1975

Moser occasionally worked at a black-and-white photo processing lab located on the ground floor of their building, and repurposed detritus to make these sculptures reminiscent of early 20th century cars.

Only a handful of these items are known to exist, and it is believed that at least one other (not shown here) is in the private collection of an anonymous patron.

Moser's work serves as commentary on car culture, as seen through the whimsical lens of an innocuous child's toy, reminding the viewer that driver and passenger alike are complicit in further societal stratification and dehumanization brought on by the advent of the automobile.
