"Fossil” (Michelin) by Kaare Sebastian Golles, cast in black patinated bronze, is part of Kaare Golles’ FOSSILS series, an ongoing body of work that explores cycles of creation, destruction, and recreation through the symbolic lens of the car.
The project began during a fishing trip, when Golles retrieved a discarded car tyre from the seabed. That image - of a mass-produced, petroleum-based object returning to the ocean floor - became a potent symbol: organic matter transformed by industry, now sinking back as a future fossil.
From that tyre, Golles sculpted fossil-like forms and cast them in bronze. Fossil Michelin takes one of those forms and distills it into a compact, hand-sized sculpture.

Kaare Golles
Kaare Golles (b. 1985) is known for his raw, physical sculptures and installations that explore themes of civilisation, decay, and the passage of time. Working across a range of materials—including bronze, steel, concrete, and salvaged objects—Golles builds a poetic yet brutal language rooted in the idea of the ruin. His practice often circles around industrial relics, bodily traces, and the remnants of cultural systems in collapse.
A graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Universität der Künste Berlin, Golles has exhibited extensively across Denmark and Europe. His work is guided by a persistent interest in the cyclical nature of creation and destruction—how matter, symbols, and structures erode, reconfigure, and return in new forms.
In his ongoing FOSSILS series, Golles reflects on the car as a cultural artifact—a modern emblem of progress that also conceals something more primal. Fossil Michelin, created for Edition Solenne, emerges from this body of work.
Golles’ sculptures feels like quiet discoveries—objects that seem unearthed rather than made. Whether monumental or handheld, they invite us to consider what we leave behind, and what those remnants might say about us.
