Armour is an installation that consists of 12 used motor hoods from the Trolli 35 lawnmower mounted on pedestals under acrylic display units. The Trolli was one of the standard lawnmowers made and used in the former German Democratic Republic from 1962-1989. This work treats these used warrior helmet-like objects like time worn historical artefacts and provokes questions about their functionality and past.
Armour is part of the Soziale Sollbruchstelle Series of artworks. More on this project can be read about in the Soziale Sollbruchstelle Vol. 1 Publication. All works in this series can be found here.
