Ghost Car (1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille)
2026
A cast aluminium sculpture depicting a 1958 Cadillac Coupe DeVille as a ghostly, dematerialized form that interrogates the relationship between American automotive design and cultural mythology. The work renders this iconic luxury vehicle as an ethereal presence, exploring themes of desire, aspiration, and the commodification of the American dream. Through its monumental yet spectral quality, the sculpture examines how cars function as totemic objects within American consumer culture and collective memory. Longo's transformation of this mid-century design classic challenges viewers to reconsider the power and symbolism embedded in everyday objects.
