Motorways are Europe\u2019s lifelines. The products we buy every day arrive on supermarket shelves after traveling along these arteries on the backs of thousands of trucks steered by hard-working drivers. Glancing up into the cabs of their hulking vehicles, we can just barely make out their heads sticking up above the steering wheels. In this overdue volume, Simone Demandt lets us see more of the heroes of the road who confidently posed for her camera. The pictures demonstrate Demandt\u2019s knack for discovering \u201cthe intimate in the anonymous and the narrative element in the matter-of-factly\u201d (Matthias Winzen). She has condensed the truckdrivers\u2019 lifeworld into documentary black-and-white shots in which she shows these people as whole persons and individuals\u2014very different from how we perceive them when they\u2019re in the next lane. <\/span>Movers<\/span><\/i> lets us peek into the cabs through Demandt\u2019s nonjudgmental lens, broadening our horizons hardly less than travelling would and helping us overcome our prejudices about teamsters. If you\u2019ve always wanted to know whom we really have to thank for those never-empty supermarket shelves, you should not miss out on this book.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Motorways are Europe\u2019s lifelines.
