facilitating sporting uses such as off-road driving, or to provide a portable light source to illuminate fixed objects exterior to the vehicle. Many of these exterior lighting systems are mounted on the roof of a vehicle and require that multiple large holes be punched into the roof for both assembly purposes and for providing means to access the electrical wiring harness of the vehicle.
The size of the assembly holes is dictated by the size of the lighting system being added to the vehicle and its impact on the aerodynamics of the vehicle. A lighting system that greatly increases the frontal surface of a vehicle will negatively impact the aerodynamics of the vehicle which in turn negatively impacts fuel economy and increases wind noise.

On the occasion of the first site-specific work of Leandro Erlich in our country, which took the Obelisco Porteño as the core of a public art project, MALBA edited this publication. The democracy of the symbol collects essays by the argentine sociologist Christian Ferrer and by the north american curator and critic Dan Cameron, specially written for the occasion and illustrated with historical photographs. An interview with the artist by Agustín Pérez Rubio, Artistic Director of MALBA, which contextualizes this project in relation to the trajectory of Erlich and the tradition of other monumental public artworks, is also included. It includes photographs of the project in all phases of production.
