After his stunning photographic debut "Roadshow", a series of portraits of truckers taken with their trucks all across the world (published by daab in 2006), Alexander Babic is back and again, wheels are turning:in his new series "Speedweek", Babic takes the legendary races in the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah under his lense, portraying the drivers and their "hot rods" in a masterly mix of documentation and mise-en-scene.
The result: a fascinating depiction of these "speedfreaks" and their passion, set in a surreal scenario of unique beauty.
The show will be opening in Hamburg on Friday the 3rd of July at 7 p.m.
