John Divola - Dogs Chasing my Car in the Desert - Nazraeli Press 2004

From 1995 to 1998, Divola was working on a series of photographes of isolated houses  in Southern California. As he meandered through the desert, a dog would occasionally chase his car. Sometime in 1996, he began to bring along a 35mm camera equipped with a motor drive and loaded with a fast and grainy b&w film. The process was simple: when he saw a dog coming toward the car, he would pre-focus the camera and set the exposure. 
Contemplating a dog chasing a car invites any number of metaphors and juxtapositions: culture and nature, the domestic and the wild, love and hate, joy and fear, the heroic and the idiotic. It could be viewed as a visceral and kinetic dance.
