Hundertwasser's comment on the work
The best way to kill the cars is
to let them disappear
at the crossings.
You make a cross
which becomes a cross road
which becomes a round about.
The traffic circle is a trap
the cars drive into the spiral
get smaller and smaller
and vanish in a point.
(from: Catalogue Hundertwasser 1973 New Zealand, p. 54)
The analogies of the concepts cross, the crucified, street crossing and death are obvious. (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 553)
