The cross
Here you see how Tony Mafia crucified a car, cars being the last tabu. The picture is from the poster inviting for the exhibition in 'De Herk' in De Reynderstraat in Antwerp running from October 13 till November 8 in 1983. There were articles in several newspapers then, but I haven't been able to find them. The face is an old water kettle. Crankshafts, utensils, a motor block, everything minus the kitchensink went into this crucifiction which stands about two meter high. The halo is a rear view mirror. The sculpture first stood for a while in café 'De Linde' in Antwerp, then it moved to a castle in Portugal.
