Careful Driving Avoids Accidents - Augusto Alves da Silva
Following a violent car crash (the blue car on the central pages), Augusto Alves da Silva started an obsessive series related to accidents, and life on the road. A vibrant sequence of images that contrast speed with slowness, boredom and repetition with danger and surprise. It truly captures the crazy feeling of driving around, this is what being on the road really looks like today. Published on the occasion of the author´s exhibition “Dead End: an essay on optimism”, at Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Fundação de Serralves, Oporto in 2009 and sponsored by the Ministério da Cultura de Portugal, it is now for the first time available for distribution.
