Pontiac “Ghost Car”
“Unveiled at the General Motors Highways and Horizons pavilion at the 1939-40 World’s Fair in New York, the Pontiac ‘Ghost Car’ was buit on the chassis of a 1939 Pontiac Deluxe Six. In collaboration with Rohm & Haas, a chemical company that had recently developed Plexiglass, the concept for a transparent car was conceived and it was the first one ever built in America.”

In his series Permanent Error,now on view at Yossi Milo Gallery, Pieter Hugo photographed people scrounging for e-waste in Agbogbloshie, a massive dump in Ghana with mountains of out-moded computers, computer games, and mobile phones shipped from the West. The locals burn down the components to salvage copper, brass, aluminum and zinc for resale.
