“KILL ME FAST” SERIES

The Ducati & Hornsleth Collaboration 

  

“You don’t feel anything as you hit the wall with 320 Km/h”, said the salesman when I asked him if it was dangerous to ride such a bike.

Then I wondered why, I myself was so fascinated by this relation between amazing italian design and the superior engine technology.

It is precisely this blend of beauty, speed and death, which inspired me to include this ‘scuplture’ in my artistic work.

The painted lines and forms interacts in a ‘futilistic’ attempt to investigate and challenge the given logic of Ducati design.
