The Video Car series, which began in 2010, transforms a car into an interactive display for videos. The work presents an eclectic viewing experience by combining the elements of moving images with the familiarity of a common automobile.

The work is a symbolic gesture in response to the boundaries of mobility – echoing issues of the current economic climate, such as the displacement of people and places. The car is a transformative element that turns a functioning transportation tool into a functionless art object and back again.
