"Star Trucks"





"The photographic work of Francesco Mattuzzi, which will be on display at the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, from the 23rd of March 32009, touches, indirectly the bond between architecture and automobiles. In fact he explored the odd and out of sight works of trucks, finding that truck-drivers customize their vehicles in such a way that they create real mini-architectures. It is a nocturnal landscpe of fluorescent lights, diesel fumes and radio emissions."

This reminds me the Dekochari, the japanese way of pimping your bicycle.
