Killer carriage

“Na zha,” designed by Shi Jinsong.

This stainless steel baby stroller looks like it came straight from a post-apocalyptic future out of a Terminator movie.  With such sharp edges and dangerous Edward Scissorhands looks, no one will think twice about messing with a baby being transported in this contraption.  The attached machine gun might do the trick, too.

Through his razor-sharp sculptures and related works, Shi Jinsong initiates a dialogue, at once menacing and ironic, between the forms of mythic Chinese culture and modern day globalization.

In the work ‘ne zha’ it appears in the disguise of being protective, consoling and decorative, but its details betray its true function of weapon.  It indicates the highest degree of ambiguity in one’s temperament.  It presents and represents.  It invites and refuses.
