An groundbreaking book of car photography, revealing the car's
unique role in our culture Car 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 Turpin's images of 'donut' skid
marks, Todd Hido's painterly landscapes taken through wet
windscreens and William Green's 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.
