Porsche Slices: Design Process- 04.26.10
While it seems almost sacrilegious ~ this is in fact, a post all about a sliced up Porsche. Or a few. Or a few in various stages, demonstrating the design process of a Porsche in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. “How very Damien Hirst!” ~ is the first reaction i got showing the pics to a friend… it’s also one of the most beautiful and concise ways i’ve seen car design summarized! Mixed with videos at each station about the process as well of course too! And fun that they managed to fit in 3 stages of clay refining in one slice even… absolutely mesmerizing to see even the seats and first aid kit all sliced straight through… and even more fascinating to look at the way it made people of all ages stare in wonder… see images of the installation on the next page!
Honestly, every time i look back at this pics, i just adore the utter simplicity of the design of the exhibit!
These are close ups of the four stages all represented in that first slice of the Porsche!
Really, doesn’t it look like a peanut butter cup???
Amazing detail… sliced clear through even down to the first aid kit!
UPDATED…. so you wanted more close ups of the sliced up porsche? here you go!
man, these are cool. kind of a waste to cut them up, but cool to see that way. and yes, that one looks like a peanut butter cup.
