An exploration of photography's longstanding and generative
relationship to the automobile. Since its invention, the automobile
has reshaped our landscape, extended our geographic horizons and
radically altered our conception of space and time, influencing the
practice of photographers worldwide. This book shows how the car
provided photographers with new subject matter and a new way of
exploring the world. It brings together 500 works made by 100
historical and contemporary artists from around the world.
Capturing formal qualities such as the geometric design of roadways
or reflections in a rear-view mirror, these photographers invite us
to look at the world of the automobile in a new way. Auto-Photo
also includes other projects such as a series of car models that
cast a fresh eye on the history of automobile design, created
specifically for the Fondation Cartier show by French artist Alain
Bublex, plus a comparative history of automobile design and
photography, essays by scholars and quotes by participating
artists. Featuring the works of both historical and contemporary
figures such as Jacques- Henri Lartigue, Man Ray, Lee Friedlander
and Jacqueline Hassink, the exhibition will show how photographers
have continuously documented the impact of automobility on our
landscape and lifestyle, and how in turn the automobile has
reshaped the practice of photographers, providing them with a new
subject, a new means of expression and a new way of seeing the
world.
