Car Stories is a road movie shot through the front windscreen, presenting a narrative (with voiceover) of all the cars Marie Shannon has ever owned or regularly driven. She comments: “I’m using each car as a prompt to talk about times and events in my life, whether related to cars or not.” Over the course of a single journey, Shannon’s work tells a story that spans many decades.
