In 2014 Edgar Martins approached BMW with a simple idea: to stop the production lines in order to photograph Plant Munich. Although the project surveys on the surface the fabrication, tooling and assembly of the modern era automobile vehicle, it also represents a point of resistance: to the world of flux and flow that we live in, to a world haunted by mobility, transience and uncertainty.
In 2012, Edgar Martins was granted unparalleled access to The European Space Agency (ESA) and its private aerospace partners’ programs. Martins’ project reflects on the wider politics of space exploration, the ever-growing role of science and technology in our society and our relationship with the unknown, whilst opening up wider questions around epistemology, metaphysics and humanity’s conception of itself.

This beautifully printed collector’s edition comes with an 8×10″ C-print in a total edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist.
In study that goes beyond mere documentation, this publication brings us a poignant commentary on the financial ruin and bankruptcy that struck the lives of many thousands of people, in the wake of the 2008 sub-prime crisis in the USA.
