Opponent and lover in this cart wrestling

There are two enormous, crafted heads on Fort Ruigenhoek. They look like cartoon characters, with bulging eyes and large mouths that can open and close. They stick out their tongues. The heads are on a chassis with wheels. They are the carts of a strange, funny fairground attraction. Visitors can sit behind the faces and ride around with them. And you can make their tongues move. The aim of the attraction is to have a French kissing battle with the heads. In this way, your opponent actually becomes a lover.

This is really something for Oscar Peters to come up with. He previously built an enormous wooden roller coaster for Tweetakt. Visitors could make their own works of art for a roller coaster cart, which they then saw rush past on the roller coaster. Peters finds the art that is usually shown in museums rather boring. At least there is something to experience with his cool, nicely crudely crafted installations. His invitation to an absurdist French kissing fight is also a cheerful resistance to the primitiveness that is advancing everywhere in society. The title Thirst, English for ‘thirst’, turns the driving heads into two figures who want to go down on each other.
