Drive In
Symbol of the American dream, of the rise of the middle class and of individualism through the whole XXth century, cars appear in a great amount of photographies. With the rise of Street Photography, cars were bound to peep out on most photos taken. Still cars are photographed not only as a transportation device through the packed streets of cities or in the great outdoors emptiness but also as a traveling place of intimacy in the public space, where people talk, eat, sleep, love, as in a ever moving home. For photographers, cars are elements of decor, mechanical sculptures with their own modern esthetic, frames that echoes the camera鈥檚 viewfinder but also boxes where small scenes take place between people as in a moving theater. Cars ends up belonging to a cinematographic imaginary and become a subject for their own esthetic qualities of machines and the symbolic of speed, power and freedom they convey.
Exhibition including photographs by :Mario A. , Evgen Bavcar, Ren茅 Burri, Chien-Chi Chang, Xavier Dauny
Nicolas Dhervillers, Elliott Erwitt, Daniel Frasnay, Leonard Freed, Andreas Fux, Michael von Graffenried
Claudia Imbert, Simone Kappeler, Jason Langer, Xavier Lambours, Inge Morath, G茅rard Musy, Loan Nguyen
Louis Stettner, Peter Suschitzky, Sam Shaw, Arthur Tress and Buzz Uzzle.
