    The Berlin artist, Andre Hunger, announced today that
his project, with the temporary working title
"Heartbreaker," will start its world tour in May
2008. The art project will travel to 12 capital cities and
remain in each of them for 5 months. The capital cities
competing for the project include Barcelona, Sydney,
London, Tokyo and Oslo. The interest in the tour is such
that the participating cities will enter a contest. The
capital city with the highest starting capital will be the
winner. According to Andre Hunger, the final decision will
be made in February 2007.

    The original plan was to start the tour in Berlin,
however, the bureaucratic barriers in the city proved to be
insurmountable.

    The artist intends for "Heartbreaker" to
engage the viewer and make them feel their own positive
energy. Andre Hunger is convinced that his art will be
successful in releasing the energy of the observer. The
visitor will be able to actually access the sculpture, a
symbiosis of a Formula 1 race car and a super bike. The
inside of the sculpture will house a special exhibition
with a unique content never attempted before. In this
exhibition, the visitor will be able to interactively
experience the life of a race car driver through
audiovisual means and explore his/her own feelings about
the experience in a multisensory way. Well-known
protagonists will create this "alternative
reality" via photos and recordings at original sites.
Twelve internationally renowned photographers will
re-create the daily experience of a race car driver. The
sound for this event will be provided by twelve
international top musicians. The sculpture's dimensions are
another fascinating aspect of this unique art project:
approx. 40 m wide, 100 m long and 25 m high.

    Completely new materials and construction procedures
were necessary to realize the project in its impressive
size. The experts confirm that the immediate realization of
this futuristic work is impending. To refine static
calculations for the sculpture, some additional tests in
the wind tunnel will still need to be completed. The
planning and preparation phase is over.

    200 partners and sponsors are especially excited about
the impending start of the project, and they will all
compete to win the first matching offer for being the
initial city where this world tour will start. An exquisite
team of 50 experts composed of designers, process engineers,
logisticians, architects and general engineers vouch with
their names and reputation for its feasibility. Partners
and consultants of the former race car driver Hunger are
among others companies such as Nussli (soccer world
champion ship 2006 -- Adidas Stadium in front of the
Reichstag, Olympic Games 2006, World Culture Forum) and the
engineering office Happold (Pentagon Memorial USA, Japanese
Pavilion -- World Fair in Germany, British Museum UK, Al
Faisaliah Saudi Arabia). The partner network's synergy and
an intelligent concept are responsible for shortening the
development phase from the usual four years to just eight
months.

    Andre Hunger himself is expanding his network by
additional international partners to have all the roles
within "Heartbreaker" distributed by spring 2007.
The artist was, in his own words, very happy about the
negotiations he had with representatives from Formula 1 and
Moto GP and was able to include them in the content
production for the exhibit. Andre Hunger is convinced that
visitors to "Heartbreaker" will be able to feel
the excitement of the racetrack themselves.

    The cities hosting the project will enjoy an economic
payback through long-term gain and improved image due to
the increase in tourism. Hunger says that the projected
revenues for Berlin alone (currently excluded from the
competition) were estimated at around Euro 460 million. The
artist expects to see visitor numbers of more than a million
per capital city.

    "Anyone who experiences Heartbreaker in its full
dimensions will feel a new kind of strength afterwards. No
visitor will be able to withdraw from the emotional impact
of this project. And when he/she walks out of there, the
visitor cannot help but feel the courage to start something
new. The beauty of it is that this is an art project that
anyone will understand and that does not just benefit a
chosen few. The cities will not have to pay for it, on the
contrary, they will make money from it."

    Andre Hunger and "createur visionnaire"

    Andre Hunger is the founder and the creative spirit
behind the agency createur visionnaire for design and
creativity. After long years of racing cars, Andre Hunger
managed several galleries and organized different mega
events. He then worked as a consultant for agencies and
companies to position exclusive brands and continued to
develop innovative projects in the area of branded
entertainment. For his sculptures and energetic
architectural projects, Hunger frequently uses programs for
designing jets. He thus creates unique, comprehensive
designs and projects such as the draft for a museum, a VIP
resort in Manama/ Bahrain for the opening of the Formula 1
racetrack, a limited series of prototypes of the sports
vehicle Supersonic and "green coast", an
exclusive sculpture made of organic materials looking like
a perfume flacon and stretching over 7 floors. Hunger's
focus in his projects is the merger between man and
machine. Simultaneously, he strives to put the individual's
needs in the foreground.
