Inspired by chase scenes in 1960s and 1970s action movies and television shows such as Bullitt, The Streets of San Francisco, and The Dukes of Hazzard, Porter’s photographs of floating muscle cars are captivatingly implausible. The vehicles are die-cast models that the artist shoots in his studio, mimicking the lighting conditions of the backgrounds into which they are inserted. Here, a 1970 Plymouth GTX hovers above a hazy streetscape near downtown Los Angeles, glinting in the late afternoon sun like a modern-day winged chariot.
