Taking part of its title from Cockney rhyming slang, Sherbet Dab Swivel converts a taxicab and other street apparatus into a new outdoor sculpture for London. inspired by many equestrian statues he found around the city, Japanese sculptor and musician Ujino based its form on a figure on horseback, metamorphosed — like a Transformer toy — into a twenty-first century monument to urban transport, complete with flashing lights and intermittent sounds created by Ujino's Rotators.
