John Divola's book documents his photographic project from 1995 to 1998, capturing isolated houses and car-chasing dogs in Southern California's Morongo Valley desert. Using a 35mm camera with fast, grainy black-and-white film, Divola photographs dogs pursuing his car while he navigates the desert. The photos explore metaphorical themes such as culture versus nature, domestic versus wild, and emotion contrasts like love and fear. This work reflects on futile pursuits, depicted through the interplay of dogs chasing vehicles, highlighting Divola's unique process and creative interpretation of these dynamic interactions.
