Slice of Life, 2025

This edition is based on a photograph of Alexandra Bircken’s 2023 sculpture ‘Gebrochenes Pferd’ (Broken Horse), an assemblage of six precisely cut segments of a V10 combustion engine from an Audi RS 6. The V10 represents a pinnacle in the era of combustion engines, embodying an excess of engineering, obsession with size and hedonistic recklessness. Echoing both the industrial precision of mass production and the visceral act of dissection, each edition becomes its own ‘slice’ of the engine. Please note this edition is made using hand-cut industrial materials, as such each sheet of aluminium has surface flaws and irregularities.
