Description:

“What It Is Like To Be A Traffic Cone” presents one of Haas’ best known photography projects—a series of traffic cones, as they live and suffer in the streets of cities all over the world. Yes, they live and suffer! But they are also playful, and take pleasure in the many excitements of city life. And the Freudian note is not missed here. Quite to the contrary, an excerpt from Sigmund Freud’s “Interpretation Of Dreams” included in the book attests to the true meaning of it all. A must have for anyone interested in contemporary photography, and in a slightly subversive take on modernity. 60 images on 116 pages. Photography, concept and design by Jens Haas.
