In Karma, a project developed in Madrid between 2009 and 2013, Óscar Monzón presents the car as a means of transport that is inseparable from the person who inhabits it, for it is itself a product of the endless cycle that revolves within us.
 
 
 
Karma explores a series of unconscious human behaviors imprinted on our memory. Regarding the relationship we establish with the car, these behaviors materialize in specific ways: detachment, competition, aggression.
 
 
 
Applying a visual language that eliminates the illusion of depth and emphasizes abstraction, Karma brings us closer to the paradoxical intimacy that the automobile offers within public space, reflecting the attitudes of its occupants. The sequence of images combines human skin with aggressively designed car bodies; headlights at night evoke the image of wild animals; close-up flashes confront the people portrayed.
 
 
 
Ultimately, this work reveals the social and aesthetic evolution of humanity, driven by our constant desire to achieve the perfection of a machine.
