A [replica of Stonehenge](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-replica), it is made out of cars instead of stones. Put together over a span of three months, Citihenge by Tommy Gun is located at London's South Bank near the Tower Bridge. Heralding in the summer solstice, it also unveils Czech car company [Skoda's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hijacks-competitors) new Citigo car. Made up of 18 [junk cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-moc), each one was carefully painted to resemble the stones they are supposed to be replicating. Strong enough to withstand a Force 12 hurricane, Citihenge by Tommy Gun will be traveling around the United Kingdom. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 13% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Artistic Replication:** Opportunities to create art installations that replicate iconic landmarks using unconventional materials such as cars. - **Urban Homage:** The trend of bringing elements of nature and rural areas into urban spaces through creative art installations, such as the Citihenge by Tommy Gun. - **Branding Through Art:** Using art installations as a way to promote and unveil new products, like Skoda's Citigo car through the Citihenge by Tommy Gun. ### Where This Applies - **Automotive:** Opportunities for car manufacturers to explore innovative ways to showcase their brand and products through art installations. - **Tourism:** The tourism industry can leverage art installations of famous landmarks to enhance tourist experiences in urban areas. - **Fine Arts:** The fine arts industry can explore new techniques and materials to create unique and disruptive art installations, like Citihenge by Tommy Gun. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Protest Sand Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bland-castles.md) - [Sculptural Dynamic London Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peninsula-hotel.md) - [Exploded Car Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Porsche-911-carrera.md) - [Bespoke Car Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tattoo-Inspired-Land-Rover.md) - [Car-Inspired Intricate Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-defender.md) - [Auto-Celebrating Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/norman-foster1.md) - [Race Car-Inspired Dynamic Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gerry-judah-1.md) - [Cheeky Electric Vehicles Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/koda-hijacks-competitors.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md)
