Mechanisation is perceived only as an irony. The functions are maintained solely by fake. Symbols, like a sort of rocket, are moving around without creating any real threat. The armoury is a dummy. The motion always comes to a stop because the machine, the car, seems to be programmed to become non-functioning. The artist moves the machine, but one can guess the exhausting effort needed to do that. He is at the one time the mover and the moved. The interdependence between man and machine cannot be more clearly stated. In the background there are glimpses of Charlie Chaplin in "Modern Times", but the Peace Car is like the swan song, the Abgesang. There is, however, an irony in this "sculpture" of Arthur Wicks.
