Camping et Stationnement de Véhicules Aménagés Interdit, 2022
Radicale 1924, Saint-Cirq-Lapopie (FR)
« Camping et stationnement de véhicules aménagés interdit » is a contemporary interpretation of a surrealistic objet-trouvée: a white van has become completely useless by the presence of a brick wall.
The French law prohibiting spending the night in a vehicle (even if parked on private property) is taken very seriously in the touristic region of the Lot: many streets and car parks have street signs refusing the entrance to camping cars, caravans, and furnished vans. As a reaction on this regulation on tourism, I treated my own van as if it were an empty building in an urban environment where the owner tries to keep squatters out.
I elevated my van as a sculpture and parked it in the idyllic town of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie. Doing so, I comment on the recent construction of not less than five car parks surrounding the village, which is permanently inhabited by not more than fifteen people and located in a nature reserve. If you own a van as an inhabitant of Saint-Cirq-Lapopie you are even asked to park it further away because it might disturb the image of the village.
By using red construction bricks, I also react on the prohibition of the usage of these bricks in the region. Both the multitude of car parks and the brick regulation are signs of the Disneylandification of Europe.
