Under a Steel Sky

Book cover photo

A glove compartment sized book of photographs and text by Susan Fereday
with poetry by Maureyn Brees

Zoned-out drivers, sleeping passengers, abstracted dashboards and horizon-less views: these photographs of people in cars in America in the �50s and �60s were originally amateur snapshots taken as neither critique nor nostalgia. Digitised and represented here with poetic text, they can be read as both. As a series they invoke the spirit of American post-war consumer-culture as a kind of slumber and childhood memory as a long journey in a small car hurtling through space.
