The exhibition "Cars Are Red" at De Tanker in Amsterdam North highlights the fascinating symbolism of red cars. Originally shown at OZO Bellevue Station in France, this exhibition allows visitors to explore the striking nuances of the color red in the context of cars. The exhibition will be on view from Jan. 17 through Feb. 26, 2026, with a grand opening on Jan. 17.
Photographers from different parts of the world have contributed their work to this fascinating collection, each with a unique approach to the subject. Red cars, often associated with speed, passion and danger, are highlighted from a variety of perspectives. The works offer insight into both the aesthetic and emotional impact of the color red in modern vehicle iconography.
'Cars Are Red' seeks to be more than a superficial visual experience. It invites visitors to explore their own associations and the broader cultural implications of color and object. How does color influence our perception of cars, and what role does it play in our daily lives? The photographers shed light on how red cars are not only means of transportation, but also powerful symbols that evoke different meanings.
"Red cars are like fiery statements, they break the everyday grind and set the world on fire for a moment."
