Steffi Weismann: Car Event




Saturday afternoon the 2nd of June I went for a walk in the inner city of Joburg with my new self-made-Landrover. The fact that you see 'white' people only in their cars but hardly ever walking in the streets of the city gave me the idea to create this image. I was quite curious about the reactions. And I got plenty. Many of them were very spontanous and playful. Some asked me if they could have a lift, or if they could buy my car. Many of them said "nice car" and smiled. They also asked me who made the car, and when I answered that I did it myself, I got quite a lot of respect. All in all it was a humorous interaction and I was happy to get in contact with people on the street and to be part of street life.
