Nash Rambler with a Video of Its Unmaking
When Colorado River Keeper announced a plan to remove the half-buried Nash Rambler piece by piece as part of a restoration project, both local river runners and tourists protested. Crashed from a cliff onto the banks of the Colorado over twenty years ago, the rusted hulk seemed as natural in this setting as the red rocks and blue sky above. Jake and I floated his rubber raft down the river with a borrowed oxy-acetylene torch torch and spent a day cutting up the steel body for removal, leaving our mark on the cultural history of the river corridor and participating in a larger discourse on the nature of the natural.

A split single channel video of the event is projected on both sides of the Nash Rambler's rear quarter panel. The video on the inside is projected through the car's tail light.
