Recalling this other
automobile-related project, we enjoyed leafing through this new coffee table offering from photographer
Lycien-David Csรฉry of mangled cars with a focus of what we choose (or tolerate or
celebrate) be it pristine or broken, those bumps, dents and scratches emblematic of use and time. Such forms of disfigurement elicit a strange visceral response and revulsion, different from the sort typically reserved for collateral damage in living things or ourselves where imperfection and nicks can be worn as badges of honour and an account of an ordeal, whereas the former come across as something regrettable. Much more from It’s Nice That and the artist at the link above.
