In 2014, the father of Erik Kessels suffered a stroke; he has since been barely able to speak or move. Prior to this, he was extremely active. His projects included restoring examples of that Italian icon, the Fiat 500 (or “Topolino”). He had completed four such restorations and was working on a fifth, the half-finished carapace of which remains at his home. Kessels undertakes a project to transport this last Topolino to Reggio Emilia, showing it alongside his father’s own images documenting the restoration. For the artist, this work is about a man who will never be complete, but remain unfinished, like the vehicle. This second edition is limited to 500 signed and numbered copies.
