17 Painted People Form Sculpture of Crashed Car
Expanding beyond her figures on intricate backgrounds, Emma Hack created this incredible living sculpture of a crashed car made of seventeen painted people. Entitled ‘Body Crash‘, the work took 18 hours to paint and photograph. Acrobats held the challenging poses required in the smashed front end, while the rest of the car is made up of athletes and body builders. The work is part of an Australian road safety campaign.
