Melted Ice Cream Truck Installation

In 2006, this amazing melted ice cream truck was installed in Adelaide as part of the Australian Sculptures by the Sea fair. Artist Orest Keywan constructed the Dali-esque dripping truck with steel, sandstone and limestone and ultimately won the grand prize.

Mark Jenkins’ disturbing and realistic installations have been known to cause many 911 calls. Using the city as his canvas, Jenkins litters the landscape with sculptures of headless and faceless humans, dead or sleeping bodies, often to provide a social commentary on how homeless people are dehumanized by the masses.
