A visual essay, a poem, a study of Princess Diana, image, celebrity and identity.
Artist and writer Leanne Shapton has painted Princess Diana from the hundreds of photographs of her getting out of cars, examining her iconography and meaning in gesture and form.
In Cars: On Diana is about photography, fidelity, facsimile and where to hold the beheld. It is also an obsessive and loving collection of studies, abstracted and haunting.
