The tiny « Noleggio » type on the car in the picture may not be the first thing everyone sees. However, it gives a particular meaning to it all. How could a « Macchina a Noleggio », the Italian naming for a rental car, bring some kind of magic? On a sticker that’s positioned at the top of the car’s rear window, this Noleggio word looks as if it were engraved on the grandiose building from the Duomo Quarter in Milan that is reflected on the car. The magical effect of self-distorting, anamorphic reflections on mirror-black cars isn’t new in Gaumé’s Automorphoses, but it still delivers otherworldly perspective and details from historical city centers that are made more and more inaccessible to cars. Even in spite of this, with the timeless emotion from funhouse mirrors in circuses, people may never stop being drawn to this architectural and photography magic when it appears on shiny dark rental cars. Who knows? In the near future, they could be the last magic makers being allowed near historical parks, monuments, and palaces when people imagine how life was before 2020.
