| This Vehicle Produces Desire - e+l |
 |
This Vehicle Produces Desire is a meditation on the truck and the trucker as a slippery signifier. Oscillating between the pure functionality of the movement of goods and the poetics of being on the road, trucking generates an array of mythologies that in turn are tied to concrete policies regarding trade. The exhibition included video interviews with truckers from the US, Europe and Brazil discussing life on the road and the business of trucking.
