Preis: € 28,00 2005/2006 reiste Adam Frelin über 15.000 Meilen quer durch die Vereinigten Staaten, um Bäume zu photographieren, die durch Autounfälle Schaden genommen hatten. Trees Hit By Cars ist das Dokument dieser Reise. "When I was young, my father would beat the smaller trees in our yard with a baseball bat. He took his cue from the big oak at the bend of our street that appeared to grow stronger each time it was hit by a car. As a child, I believed that it was, in fact, the lives of those drivers that made the oak stronger, their life force absorbed and collected by the tree on impact. Each tree in this book has experienced at least one run-in with a car. Some have had several. Their whereabouts have been discovered through police reports, insurance records, local knowledge, and chance encounters. Through their scars they document vehicular accidents that range from the most minor of mishaps to multiple fatalities. But these scars––superficial and disproportionate––are poor indicators of the ordeals experienced by those who were unfortunate enough to have created them. Unforgiving and seemingly impervious, a tree proves to be a formidable obstacle, concealing tragedy through scraped trunks and broken bits of bark."
