“If you manage to create something that withstands time, something that remains untouched
by the eccentricities of a particular age- something timeless, in other words-
that is the greatest achievement.
You may always modify a Porsche but its character and inimitable quality must be remained.”
Ferry Porsche
This is the very essence of The Whale Tail Project—preserving the legend for eternity.
The idea behind the art pieces is to revive the emotions, nostalgia and the glorious
racing past of the Porsche brand.
Johans’ commitment to using original Porsche spoilers underscores his dedication to recycling
and reusing historical automotive components. Rather than discarding or wasting these classic
parts, they are given a new purpose and significance, extending their lifespan and reducing the
need for new materials.
Each spoiler carries with it decades of history and road trip memories,
adding depth and authenticity to the artwork while keeping a piece of automotive legacy alive.
The project is about extending the value chain by reusing historical resources,
recycling old spoilers and making them continue their journey.
