Misconceivable, Contemporary art installation in Le Pellerin, France.
The sculpture depicts a sailing boat tilted on its side near the Loire River, creating an optical illusion of tipping over toward the water.
Austrian artist Erwin Wurm created this permanent installation for the 2007 Estuaire Contemporary Art Biennial, marking a new era of public art along the Loire.
The sculpture represents the transformation of the Loire region from an industrial port area into a destination for contemporary art and cultural exploration.
Located at coordinates 47.2082954, -1.783875, the installation remains accessible throughout the year and can be reached via public transport to La Martinière station.
The boat structure demonstrates Wurm's method of applying human characteristics to objects, transforming an ordinary vessel into an extraordinary artistic statement.
