China Heights is proud to present 'Girls N Cars', a photographic exhibition by Head On Portrait Prize winner for 2010, Fiona Wolf. The photographs illustrate the allure of barely dressed women and Australian muscle cars.
The series came together when Wolf was chasing bold cars around Australia and shooting classic, semi-nude portraits for her ongoing body of work, 'Girls In Undies'. This body of work meant capturing scarcely clothed women with an even sense of normality and subtle promiscuousness.
In her practice of editing, Wolf found parallels in the way she photographed cars and scantily clad women. The curves, shapes, moods and associations meant that the two subjects complemented each other perfectly. And so, in this exhibition, images of women and cars are presented next to each other to best honour their likeness and parity.
The hazy and sultry photographs in 'Girls N Cars' were shot on a Hasselblad 6x6 film camera. Neither the girls nor the cars have been retouched. They act as real relicts of their time.
