This year over 1,000,000 used cars and trucks, no longer able to be certified or meet emission standards, will be shipped from the Global North to Africa alone. 46% of which will come from Europe, and a significant proportion will be sent illegally.
By tracing cars, their parts, and the lives entangled around them, Crash uses the vehicle trade as a visual metaphor to question and challenge conventional representations, identities, and global sustainability narratives. Through bureaucratic offices, crowded containers, pristine dealerships beside bustling workshops, the project deliberately blurs the lines between documentary truth and constructed imagery.
