"In each image of Headlighting, a single vehicle's side view is centred in the foreground, its long horizontal shape reinforced by the geometry of the 8x20-inch frame. ... The principal allusion is that relationships develop between humans and technology. Each image's long exposure, shallow depth of field, and tonal range confer a kind of atmosphere poetics to the mis-en-scène." -- Robert Tombs
In 1974, the distinguished graphic designer Allan Fleming encouraged Holownia to use a large-format view camera -- a conversation that proved instrumental in shaping Holownia's aesthetic. Shortly after, Holownia set out from Toronto on a trip that took him into the U.S. Midwest and then east into Atlantic Canada. Each day, Holownia captured images of cars and their owners in their everyday settings, developing the exposures in makeshift darkrooms at night.
An encapsulation of the everyday life and fashions of the mid-70s and a tribute to classic vehicles of all shapes and sizes, Headlighting 1974-1978 is a compelling document of a time and a place when car culture was at its peak.
