The Japanese photographer, probably best known for his book Pool, originally published in 2005 and reprinted in 2016, with its beautifully simple photographs of empty and abandoned swimming pools used by skaters in Southern California, brings the same architectural style to another American motif, car culture. He photographs cars of all stripes, from trucks to sports cars and beaters, giving them equal footing as they speed down Los Angeles highways, shot from adjacent cars and always from the same perspective. The colour pictures show vehicles side-on at speed on the freeway: a vintage sedan, a camper van, a red pickup with a loaded roof rack, a minivan under a billboard and a small pickup piled with mattresses, against palm trees, concrete walls and a pale blue sky.
