«A souped-up moped comes toward us, dragging a long tail of antlers behind it. A cosmic sled, a comet. […] Thus, the fetishistically revered moped leaves the macho attitude toward life of its era and transforms into a somnambulistic, extraterrestrial vehicle.»
The title moonruckerbrings to mind James Bond's 1979Moonrakerand emphasizes the fantastic dimension of the installation.» (Markus Stegmann)
«The antlered moped that Sonja Feldmeier brought to the exhibition becomes a symbol for her ride through a reality that is not only to be found beyond our visible world, but that crosses it again and again.» (Claudia Spinelli)
