Concrete Truck–Ghost Version
On either side of the Fraser River south of Vancouver stand two vast competing cement-production plants, LaFarge on the southern shore and Heidelberg on the north. Between them they produce 2 million tonnes of cement annually, largely for Vancouver and Seattle markets.
This cornucopia of constant production is represented in a proposed work using an actual concrete truck, mounted vertically on an endless pour of concrete, and motorized so that the truck body rotates around the fixed drum, in a delirious image of the constant circulation of progress.
