Quarante-cinq histoires d’automobiles
of the Magnum agency (photographs) & Bruno Gibert (texts)
Publication date 2007 octobre 26
This selection of photographs from the Magnum agency is a journey through the automobile myth. The micro fictions imagined by Bruno Gibert, based on each photograph, build a Pleiad of bitter-sweet small tales about men and women who drive cars, pamper them, break them, or simply live among them.
