Lee Friedlander: America by Car
Traversing the country in a rental car, the artist photographs the built and natural landscape directly from the driver’s seat. The car’s mirrors, doors, and windows act as frames for the images, which juxtapose steering wheels and dashboards with roadside bars, monuments, and mountain ranges.
