The Installation:
A semi-empty space with an old Panda inside, covered and filled with plants, moss, mold, holy cards, and rosaries.
A sound installation that connects the plants, the Panda, and the audience, creating an interdependent ecosystem of subject-objects.
Concept:
CJ 627 GC, a white Fiat Panda, is the protagonist of Interim, the latest installation by Farmers of Future (FOF). Placed at the center of a hybrid space, the car invites reflection on blurred boundaries between viewer and artist, object and subject, nature and culture.
Once a symbol of Italian modernity and accessibility, the Fiat Panda now represents a fading ideal. Forty years after its release, it is reimagined by FOF as a relic of capitalist progress, transformed into a living sculpture filled with moss, plants, and Catholic symbols. This fusion of life and decay challenges binary thinking and reshapes the car as a queer, polysemantic entity.
An immersive sound installation surrounds the vehicle, creating a dynamic ecosystem where human and non-human actors share space. Interim becomes a metaphor for a society in flux—fluid, performative, and interconnected.
By hybridizing CJ 627 GC, FOF proposes a new form of "response-ability": a call to reject rigid systems and embrace alternative modes of coexistence, agency, and meaning-making.
