„Mr Luik’s Hummer“ in Tallinn Airport by Urmas Viik is a car model completely covered by stamps. The idea was born through the story of Heino Luik, a renowned scientist and environmental activist, who was inspired to create Estonian Oxygen Fund during a stay in Australia in 1988, where he learned about a revival model of rain forests.

To do this he planned to print a series of stamps for 1USD a double. One of the stamps should have been kept by the buyer to prove the status as a founding member, the other part should have been posted to spread the idea.

Luik ordered thousands of pairs of these stamps using a remarkable amount of private savings. Unfortunately the project never took off properly. Heino Luik was killed in a traffic accident in Tallinn on 22 August 2007 caused by a traffic hooligan, who was driving 120 km/h in the city.

Viik built the Hummer of cardboard on a light timber frame and 35 000 stamps. The installation is located in the public area of the airport across the elevator.
