'''Liz Cohen''' is an American [[performance art|performance artist]] currently specializing in an [[installation art]] project called ''Bodywork''.  This is a long-term exploration of the conversion vehicle / [[lowrider]] culture, as well as the experience of a woman as a custom car model.  Cohen is taking an [[East Germany|East German]] compact car called a [[Trabant]] and modifying it so that it will be able to convert by means of hydraulic or pneumatic mechanisms into a [[Directory:Chevrolet|Chevy]] [[Directory:Chevrolet/El Camino|El Camino]] -- a ''Trabantimino''.  Simultaneously, Cohen is trying to "convert" her own physical body into one worthy of a car-show bikini model.
