Brian Anderson Definition Series – 2009

This series of eight photo-based works
explores the relationship between context
and abstraction. Suggestive of contemporary
automobile advertisements,
the imposed text reveals the appeal
of the bright and shiny by referencing
the natural and the geopolitical. These
close-up images evoke the fluidity and
beauty of luxury vehicles while disguising
the negative impact of car culture
on the environment and society.

Curated by Edward Rowtmann-Hunter
