An example of one of Schweder La's earliest and most emblematic works, Car Wash explores the resemblance between building as model as body. The model evokes a culture of bodily hygiene through the use of white porcelain oozes, drips, secretes, consumes liquids -- despite itself. Like many building it acts "as an effigy to human bodies," as the artist writes. Plans and sections were drawn with an x-ray machine are a precursor to Schweder La's Friable Aperture Series, and his most recent inflatables, which glow in the dark and retain an trace of the body's imprint.
