Passepartout is all about documentaries and visual stuff I find worth seeing.

Art made out of old cars: Finnish dairy metal cattle

Finish artist Miina Äkkijyrkkä (can you pronounce her name?) combines agriculture and cattle-raising with “high” culture and the visual arts. In her work but also in her daily life.She’s known to love cattle and she’s also known to have a passionate and eccentric character.

She recently bought dozens of used cars and metamorphosed them in these surprising sculptures, mix of art/machinery and her love for these animals.
