Text by Wolfgang Tillmans

The Cars compiles a new body of work by the renowned photographer. Since the early nineties Tillmans has redefined the genre of photography, epitomizing a new kind of subjectivity and questioning existing values and hierarchies. Here, images of cars in a typical street view — not in a crash or a traffic jam, but simply present — pay tribute to the amount of time we spend around, looking at, or using the vehicle. With over one hundred colour photographs and a text by the artist, the volume reflects on what it is to live in a world oversaturated with both cars and images.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
