The Plains

Official Section

Since the early-twentieth century, humans spend a vast amount of their time in cars. Day after day, millions of people use this small motorised space to commute to work and back home in the evening, to give their family a lift or to set out on a journey. But the car is more than a mere means of transportation: many things happen inside it. The time in motion, or sitting in traffic jams or parking places can also be used to listen to the news, to talk on the phone or chat with our co-pilot or passengers. These conversations reveal many of the rationales governing our lives: our frustrations, dreams, failures and hopes.
