Wolfgang Tillmans
The Cars
Koenig Books 2015
Photobook
Softcover, 128p.
16 × 24 cm.
Since the early 1990s, Tillmans has redefined the genre of photography, embodying a new kind of subjectivity and challenging existing values and hierarchies. The Cars is no exception to this rule: images of cars in a typical street scene — not in an accident or a severe traffic jam, but simply there — pay tribute to the time we spend around the vehicle, looking at it or using it.
Featuring over 100 colour photographs and an essay by the artist himself, this new volume is an important addition to any collection of photography books and to our understanding of what it means to live in a world oversaturated with both cars and images.
