The DB5

"I never joke about my work 007"

Headphones recommended.

The DB5 is the most famous car driven by British spy 007. Retrofitted with several weapon and gadget enhancements, it has repeatedly appeared throughout the series over the course 60 years. The scene is saturated with easter eggs from films in the series over the past several decades.

Cinema Cars is a series of digital artworks that depict famous automobiles from cinematic history and immortalise them inside a glass terrarium within a museum space. The environment the vehicle is situated in is just as important - a thriving ecosystem with hidden references from the movie scattered throughout - an abstract depiction of a scene from the world within the movie.

I like many resorted to watching movies as a means to escape the reality of being confined to my apartment over the past year. Cinema is a simple but powerful tool that allows us to forget our daily troubles by getting lost in the stories and worlds that are depicted.

The series plays on that revelation, and also represents a metaphorical aspect to it, with the glass case being an outward manifestation of our confined living situations and the inside environment being the world we create for ourselves
