“Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black”, Henry Ford

Turbo Vanish is a publication about Tuners; they customize their cars to the extent they make it almost useless for the purpose it was produced for, by working on it with an exhausting expenditure of time and energies. They try heroically to oppose to the current and consolidated capitalistic process of the purchase, usage and car-wrecker demolition, transforming serial products into unique objects. Singularities. Do they make art? Not precisely, but they have an obsession that creates an aesthetic vision. This desperate attempt to realize post-apocaliptic starships is lead by vanity at the service of photography. Turbo Vanish connects two universes a long way off, that of Tuners and that of contemporary art. From Daniele Torcellini’s review
