During the First World War, warships were painted in a camouflage consisting of black and white bands arranged in various patterns to confuse enemy submarines. This approach gave naval fleets a disorienting and unexpected appearance, as typically austere military battleships were coated in a dazzling and unnatural exterior. This piece of industrial machinery in the form of an old tank, painted according to this design, rather than confusing the observer, is intended to draw attention to the beauty of a discarded object.
