Bhuttu’s in Benzes
The time is 15 November 1995 Men and women want to possess the
products of Western systems of ordering and progress without wishing to
participate in their secret values. Without being convinced, for instance, of the medical value of work as a hedonistic medium
to pleasure, without knowing what delight it is to swim in
anonymity, and without the ability to see the car as measure of
(social) effort. Here cars are evidence of the miraculous. Not the product of effort, nor the
reward of effort. They are the juggernauts of modernity, hierophanies of the effortless. There are cars
here which are completely covered in gold and an oil –like substance that reflects
psychedelic colours. Underneath the cars there are green disco lights that make
the car appear to be floating. I want a car like that. The Mercedes Benz is a liturgical
instrument, a mobile altar with imaginary wings. Inside real men, drive like angels.
