Seligman is another one of those small towns that once lined the Arizona portion of US Route 66 – the “Mother Road.” I spent my brief time in Seligman searching for visual clues to its nostalgic past. This battered relic of that past likely had its best days on Route 66 before the legendary road was bypassed by the new Interstate highway system. With this close-up study, I offer a metaphor for that loss and displacement. The scarred, rusting surface of the car mocks the sleek and shadowy chrome decorations that once represented, along with Route 66 itself, “modern times.” Once again, the past briefly appears before us, this time wearing the guise of a car that stopped moving a long time ago.
