TOYS'R'US Dinghy by Michael Johansson

This is not a model kit, this is a life-size dinghy made by Swedish artist Michael Johansson for the exhibition Besökarna (the Visitors) . All the boat and related equipment are joined together in a welded metal frame. Everything is painted in a unifying plastic layer to resemble the surface of a model kit. The real boat is transformed into a model of itself, and its original purpose has given way to something else.
