In the future, people may regard the age of the car as a primitive era when humans were working increasingly hard to destroy their environment. They will probably have the opportunity to see many of the car cemeteries spread over the five continents, and may even have the chance to visit Carhenge, in Western Nebraska, US. This is a duplicate of Stonehenge made with cars by Jim Reinders – a farmer from the town of Alliance who accomplished this work in 1987, as a memorial to his dad.
Since its creation, the place has attracted around 80,000 tourists per year from all over the world and the association “Friends of Carhenge” has been created to support and preserve the “site”. Additional sculptures have been erected in its surroundings, known as the Car Art Reserve. This odd reproduction of Stonehenge is a very powerful image combining the fascination for the original stone circle and for the car.
Maybe in the far future, people will look at it with astonishment and silent respect – trying to understand what kind of belief made us sacrifice so many resources for this destructive steel divinity.
