Ben Vautier:
First project: A very big drive-in with many cars made in ice.
Looking at a screen in ice. Each car very different (at least 8 cars).
A very screen in ice in which we project a film of clips about ice.
I propose extracts from all Hollywood films were there is ice and drama in them.
The entrance of the drive-in can be in ice too.
Second project: The Twin Towers in ice exact same proportions.
On a socle in ice and by one kind of system we make smoke come out of the middle of each Tower.

Third project: A huge bottle of vodka with two glasses and ice blocks in them.
We can use a Finnish alcohol vodka for the bottle.
Fourth project: A very big hat like a "borsalino" or gangster hat.
Five meters, simple to do.
Fifth project: (the most ben like) In my handwriting, in very big letters—like
"Hollywood" in Los Angeles, the sentence
"it is hot", or another sentence, like "it is snowing", or another sentence.
I am also proposing a variation, in block letters, with just my signature, in my handwriting, like "why art?"
