This work is based on an urban legend. The story is about cows that fell down from the sky to the sea outside of Russia. This was during the cold war, and some fishing boats were hit by these cows that were falling down from the skies during a storm. The boats sank and no one believed the fishermen, who later were put away in an asylum.

It’s both a paraphrase over the story and a playing with these two objects meeting each other as they in different parts of the world represent the same set of values or status symbols.

Working on the cow.

The project was started in the autumn of 2005, but left unfinished due to practical and tecnical problems.

The cow is to be made in polyester and later cow skinn. The cow will then be put onto the smashed roof of an Mercedes Benz. It will then become a mobile installation with a performative character.
