We took a walk over to the Fabric Workshop/Vox Populi /Asian Arts Initative building after visiting the PAFA galleries. Vox had, I think, three different shows up - but this was my favorite. All of the photos are of people sitting in cars and just... intently thinking. What are they thinking about? So serious. Then you realize that it is all the same car and start to understand the reflected lights and realize that these photos were taken at an auto show or inside a car dealership. The exhibition was called Auto Show; I'm glad that I don't usually read anything about a show before first looking, it's better to get it yourself.
These are my cell-phone pictures of the artist's pictures, go to this vox pop page and hit his images to see them better. Much blacker, sharper, and more starry.
They are in a very public place, sitting inside a glass-enclosed something everybody is staring at, but most look so contemplative.
Maybe he is even thinking about something else, something other than the car. Something he's hoping for, or regrets.
Curve of wheel, curve of brim, curve of fur-lined hood. Black, brown, and gold. Glass, fur, cloth, plastic, sparkly ring. Diagonals of brim, telephone antenna, and finger.
She is remembering something. The car at the auto-show is a magic thinking machine. If I were an alien observing a car show, that's what I would conclude.
Lost in thought.
