"Imbisse with their congenial eccentricity, can be read as a commentary on the increasingly widespread combination of rudimentary architecture with the signs that are all the more striking in food outlets lining the thoroughfares and highways, whose signs are hoisted up on tall pylons visible far and wide. In a sense, Antje Dorn plays with "urban commercial iconography" (Venturi), her works demonstrating how it functions." (Tobias Burg, Imbisse und Motorgirls, in: Antje Dorn. Stuff, Museum Folkwang 2011)
