Ever watch those nature shows that show a giant boa constrictor slowly swallowing its prey? Pretty gross stuff isn’t it? How would you feel if it was a car…more precisely, a Fiat Panda?
What if I told you there is a sculpture in midtown Atlanta that weighs 16 tons, traveled almost 5,000 miles to get here and took 9 months to create; would you be surprised? But what if I told you it was of a Fiat Panda being devoured by some type of biomorphic form?
The sculpture was created by artists Venske and Spänle using pure white marble from Carrara, Italy in 2017. And it is fitting that the enigmatic sculpture is eating an auto in a city with one of the most walkable urban districts nationwide.
Better than any gallery, this piece of art is in a very busy place. In fact, over 2,000 people walk through the nearest intersection daily. That is a lot of potential views!
Oh, and by the way, about the car being eaten…well since it was released in 1980, the Fiat Panda has sold 6.5 million worldwide!
