Description
Graveyard of Cars, Horopito, 2007
Horopito Motors in the central North Island is an icon of New Zealand. Established in the 1940s it was declared that any car that was brought here to be scrapped would stay here. Nothing was removed. As a result thousands of cars rot, rust and return to the landscape from where they originate. The materials erode and dissolve back into the Earth. This was a concept I was engaged in during my 3rd year at Elam School of Fine Arts. In consideration of humans impact on the natural environment, the ever present energy crisis and the age of oil as an ethereal monument of humanities ingenuity, I found this place to be illustrative of industry and its inevitable demise. A global economic system based on ever-continuous growth and a world of finite resources collide yet everything returns to the Earth.
