Car wash, Paris suburbs, France
Written on the back of this work is: “At a car wash in the suburbs of Paris, I saw this poor woman locked in a car, just as the giant rollers were about to swallow the vehicle. She looked familiar; she was, in fact, my wife. I could never put this picture with my personal work, because there was a certain complicity between me and the subject. To maintain my credibility, my photos must be 'found, ' which wasn't quite the case here, so the picture has remained lonely and neglected. But I like it anyway.’’ — Richard Kalvar
