{"product_id":"the-heights-matthew-porters-photographs-of-flying-cars-9781597114578","title":"The Heights: Matthew Porter's Photographs of Flying Cars","description":"Matthew Porter presents a portfolio of twenty-five images of old-school cars, captured in midair as they careen over city streets and highway intersections. Each photograph is a freeze-frame--a hypothetical film still from a pulp-fiction chase scene. The photographs, known popularly as the \"flying car\" series, are a hybrid of hyperreality and studied, topographic description, part bittersweet nostalgia and part ironic reinvention of a classic American trope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePorter, Matthew:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eMatthew Porter\u003c\/b\u003e is a graduate of Bard College and of the ICP-Bard MFA Program in Advanced Photographic Studies, New York.
