Brief Explanation

We welded a construction on the tow bar of a Volkswagen Tiguan and made it so that this construction was hidden underneath prepped clothes when 2 people sat on it. This way we could drive around with a Tiguan that seemingly carried two extra ‘floating’ passengers. We drove around various towns with the Tiguan and its floating passengers behind the car sitting in comfy positions, as if on a backseat. With long lenses we captured the reactions of non-cast people in the streets who all look amazed or astonished as they see the floating passengers drive by. The specially built outdoor stunt turned into an online film that teases the introduction of the new and bigger Tiguan Allspace and its main USP: 2 extra passenger seats.
