Makeout Cars with fogged-up windows parked in secluded spots are symbols of fleeting romance and the bittersweet nature of life and short northern summers. Music pulses from within; while the melody might be indistinct, the bass is unmistakably strong. Passersby know that behind those fogged windows, a scene of passion is unfolding.
We bring Makeout Car into public space as a tribute to love. In these times when the world is steaming with hate, it serves as a reminder of love’s enduring and all-encompassing power. Passion is not merely personal or private; it is also political. The artwork exposes the hypocrisy of this time, when many feel entitled and obligated to impose their way of life on others because they believe it to be the only right one.
