Description: Smoke and Mirrors by Hoxton Mini Press, Adam Hay-Nicholls Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An iconoclastic book of car photography, revealing the cars unique role in our cultureCar photography often evokes the same recycled tropes. Predictably slick, hi-spec images on the front pages of glossy magazines, or huge blow-ups on giant billboards which have one designed aim- to sell a lifestyle. But our relationship with cars is so much more meaningful than these images might suggest. Like the camera, the car has changed the way we explore the world. With cars came road trips, and with road trips came some of the most important photographic documentaries of our time. A car is a vehicle not just for transport but for our hopes, desires and dreams.In Smoke and Mirrors, a selection of world-renowned and up-and-coming photographers come together to pay tribute to the car. From Nick Turpins images of donut skid marks, Todd Hidos painterly landscapes taken through wet windscreens and William Greens shots of sleeping Tokyo taxi drivers, these photographs display cars at their most playful, introspective and meaningful, reminding us that there is more to them than just metal and machinery - for cars are emotionally intertwined with the lives we live.
