About this Item

Hardcover. Growing up as a typical car-obsessed American kid, Jory Hull detours from his familiarity and explores an outsider's view of the primitive, fascinating elegance of racing vehicles from a bygone era; an era of emotive graphic and mechanical simplicaity. The artist frames these machines as the colourful handmade tools that they are, contrasting the idealised objects that appear in the most automotive photography, often abstracting their details into almost pure graphic compositions. Despite a quiet beauty to these machines at rest, one imagines them at full fury. First publication of this body of work by Jory Hull, which was a great success at Paris Photo LA 2013. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Synopsis

Grown up as a typical car-obsessed American kid, Jory Hull explores the primitive, fascinating elegance of racing vehicles from a bygone era.

The artist frames these machines as the colorful, handmade tools that they are, often abstracting their details into almost pure graphic compositions. This series of photographs, taken over the course of a decade, capture the surfaces and inner workings of these objects at rest, revealing unusual details of these machines designed for fierce competition, created to live at high speed. The quiet beauty of these cars at rest, one imagines the sights and sounds of them at full fury.
