EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Michael Dalder captures the chaotic scene of cars jammed on the motorway A8 between Salzburg and Munich near Irschenberg, southern Germany. Taken on July 20,2019, this image showcases a moment frozen in time as vehicles are locked in a gridlock, highlighting the challenges faced by commuters and travelers alike. The photographer's technique of zooming with a slow shutter speed adds an artistic touch to the composition. The elongated streaks created by moving lights give a sense of motion and urgency to the already congested scene. This effect enhances our understanding of the frustration experienced by those stuck in this traffic nightmare. Dalder's skillful use of perspective allows us to appreciate both the vastness of this major highway and its overwhelming congestion simultaneously. The sea of stationary automobiles stretches into the distance, emphasizing how widespread and relentless traffic can be during peak times. Through his lens, Dalder captures not only a snapshot but also conveys a deeper message about modern society's reliance on transportation infrastructure. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and development, we still face challenges that impact our daily lives. With its striking visual elements combined with thought-provoking subject matter, this print offers viewers an opportunity for reflection on issues such as urban planning, sustainability, and alternative modes of transportation.
