Car Chapel 1172

Crashed Car Monument, Vilnius

Crashed vehicles from alcohol-related accidents were arranged into a temporary monument before the Lithuanian Parliament in Vilnius, creating direct confrontation between policy makers and road safety consequences. Two Maniscopic lifters positioned the damaged cars horizontally, forming a clustered ground-level installation secured with red chains. Memorial candles at the base invited public participation. The arrangement was developed through toy car models before execution. This assembly transformed individual tragedies into collective architectural statement, shifting crashed vehicles from accident sites to parliamentary plaza, engaging citizens and politicians in public dialogue about drunk driving through material presence rather than statistical abstraction.
