Wolf Vostell
Energy, from 1973, is one of Vostell’s most important installations, whose
meaning at first rests
upon the unconventional juxtaposition of two material desires – the Cadillac and bread – which at the same time confront two status symbols: the first, that of a world which has enough, the other that of a world which is starving.

Vostell’s symbolism show the car and unfettered consumerism as a danger to individual and collective peace.
In 1973, after the automotive boom of the previous decade, the first great petrol crises broke out, connected to acts of terrorism and guerrilla warfare. Faced with this situation, the Energy of the bread encloses the car like a therapy, a medicine to re-establish internal balance. It speaks of Vostell’s Humanism, meant to launch a social and political message of planetary significance.
