  • Detail of a rusty Wartburg 312 car standing at the kerbside in an eastern Berlin district. A sticker with the letters DDR as the German Democratic Republic (DDR in German and GDR in English) as East Germany was called during the Cold War. Any car was a highly-prized possession when ownership of luxury goods like vehicles aroused suspicion for other than Communist Party officials. This car may have been someone of rank or influence. The GDR was a self-declared socialist state, referred to in the West as a "communist state" in the Soviet Sector of occupied Germany created after the second world war and partitioned when DDR leaders built the Berlin Wall that eventually segregated Germany and Europe. The East Germany state existed from 7 October 1949 until 3 October 1990 and was a potent symbol of a divided Europe during the Cold War...

  • A boy stands leaning on a hand rail near the top steps at Paignton sea front. At the bottom of the steps and floating face down in the clear, unpolluted  water, his arms outstretched, is a diver wearing a wet suit who appears lifeless. It is a scene of ambiguity and the viewer might be confused over whether the diver is in fact dead. It looks as if the diver has drowned but he is only enjoying the buoyancy of the salt sea water. It is a sunny afternoon and the shadows of the steps' rail which zigzags down the concrete steps.

  • A fishermen looks at rope, nets and tackle in his home port of Tarbert on the western Scottish Mull of Kintyre, a quiet community in the western Isles. Inhaling on his pipe, the middle-aged man is surrounded by the equipment that keeps his fishing business at sea to prive him with a livelihood. The boat is rusty, having seen many miles on inland seas around the western isles, the edge of the Atlantic, dependent of fisheries policy and EU quotas that dictate how much they're allowed to catch per day/per week.

  • From inside a large cube, we see Italian artist Michaelangelo Pistoletto's "Metrocubo d'Infinito" mirror installation at Palazzo Strozzi in the Medici Renaissance city of Florence. While the exterior of the cube looks like a gigantic rusty rubix-cube, inside is really a kind of infinity of self-reflection, covered entirely, floor to ceiling, in mirrors. And in the centre of the cube is another smaller cube made of grey stone. Young female visitors engage with the artwork and peer down to the floor where, just like all four walls and the ceiling, the repeating image stretches as far as the eye can focus.

  • Found in a garage where it had been stored virtually untouched for 50 years, this 1937 Bugatti Type 57s Atalante sports car is previewed for the first time before a Bonhams auction in Paris on February 7th 2009. Here, we see a detail of the rusty spoked wheels in a garage/studio before the auction and sale in Paris. In 2008 the Bugatti Type 57S with chassis number 57502 built in 1937 with the Atalante coachwork for Earl Howe was discovered in a private garage in Newcastle upon Tyne, having been stored untouched for 48 years and known about only by a select few people. It was auctioned in February 2009 at the Retromobile motor show in Paris, France, fetching EUR3.4 million (US$4.6 million), becoming one of the highest valued cars in automotive history, owing much to its extremely low mileage, original condition and ownership pedigree.
