Book blurb:

Made over the last decade and in a majority of the country’s fifty states, America by Car is a vast compendium of the country’s eccentricities and obsessions at the turn of the century. All of the approximately fifty photographs that comprise the exhibition were made from the inside of a car, most often of the rental variety. Friedlander transforms the car’s windows into deliberate picture frames. A rearview mirror becomes a tool reflecting unexpected, fragmented juxtapositions.
