Scenes from the Mexican American lowrider life: a clothbound photobook documenting a vibrant LA car culture Known for her quiet portraits of American cultural movements, Los Angeles-based photographer Kristin Bedford's new work, Cruise Night, is an intimate and unstaged exploration of Los Angeles' Mexican American lowrider car culture. From 2014 to 2019 Bedford attended hundreds of lowrider cruise nights, car shows, quinceañeras, weddings and funerals. Her images offer a new visual narrative around the lowrider tradition and invite outsiders to question prevalent societal stereotypes surrounding this urban Mexican American culture. Bedford's photos explore the nuances of cars as mobile canvases and the legendary community that creates them. With bright color photography and a unique female vantage point, Cruise Nightis an original look at a prolific American movement set against the Los Angeles cityscape.

"Automobile and Culture" is replete with dazzling color photographs of great and humble cars, and is brimming with hundreds of paintings, sculptures, and posters. Astonishing in its scope and beauty, it moves from the first elaborate spring-driven vehicles conceived by Leonardo da Vinci to the auto-related works and dogma of the Futurists to the car imagery of the Surrealists, Dadaists, Pop artists, and Photo-Realists, and provides fascinating commentary on the continuing role of the automobile in art.
