Benin Burn Art?

[Pedal Powered Art Vehicle in Coutonou, Benin, W. Africa]

I took an interesting walk Sunday in Coutonou, down the main (paved even!) road my hotel is on and saw this pedal powered art vehicle that looks like it belongs on the playa at Burning Man. Just outside of the camera view are people sleeping on the sidewalks, street vendors and the chaos that some might call traffic. That this block was fairly orderly, and had art on it was as surreal as the art itself.

One of my big hopes for this next year is to spend some time building wacky stuff like this. Cool.
