Crushing' by Ron Arad

last updated 3 October 2022

Fresh from his voyage to Venice aboard the 'Last Train' (opens in new tab), Ron Arad has arrived in Israel with a fleet of Fiats in tow - albeit squashed ones. The artist-cum-designer, who has forged a career out of cutting, welding and bashing metal, has installed six compressed Fiat 500s in the Design Museum Holon (opens in new tab), his largest steel creation to date. Here, in this exclusive film, we see the compression in action and hear from Arad himself about the thinking behind the project.
