‘What happens when you isolate a vehicle from its chaotic surroundings? Can it tell us something about the culture it comes from? About the person who uses it? Or about society itself?’
-Martin Roemers
Photographer Martin Roemers traveled the world armed with a large white backdrop, a camera, and one simple question: “Would you pose with your vehicle for me?”
The result is an eye-opening collection of images that raises pressing questions about our current global society. “What about the environmental impact of our addiction to oil and engines?” but also: “Does your choice of vehicle express something about your identity?”
At the same time, Roemers’ images almost instantly bring a smile to your face.
Homo mobilis is interspersed with behind-the-scenes shots that clearly reveal the scale and ambition of this project.
