American artist and filmmaker Jeremy Dean took his life savings (and combined it with some contributions from friends) and bought an 8mpg (3.4km/liter) HUMMER H2 and turned it into a horse drawn carriage.
His interactive sculpture, dubbed CEO Stagecoach, is part of the larger Back to Futurama project exploring peak oil and the collapse of the automobile industry.
“This project uses an American symbol of power and status to question our future by looking at a past response to excess and subsequent collapse,” explains Dean. “If we don’t rethink our reliance on a hyper-inflated, consumption-based oil economy, we may be left with no other options than to hook our cars up to a horse.”
