Erwin Wurm has surprised audiences with the Narrow House and the Fat Car and his latest creation called 'Misconceivable' on display at the Middelheim Museum of Antwerp.

The 'Misconceivable' is a very flexible boat that awaits at the museum’s garden, ready to splash into the lake like a living person; however, the boat is not the only humanized vehicle of the 'Misconceivable' collection. The vintage [Volkswagen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-gentravel-concept) van takes curves seriously, while [the truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/armadillo-crawler-s) is so ready for carriage it could climb walls. Wurm’s creations are always a delight. They are surprising, humorous, inventive and thought provoking. Ultimately, these incredibly well-engineered, surreal pieces live up to the name 'Misconceivable.'
