Like all true photographers, Fontana has never gone anywhere without his camera. Experiencing the world is inseparable from photographing it; every encounter becomes an image waiting to be made. He created an entire series, Autostrade (Highways), by taking long-exposure photographs while driving along the motorway. Each image becomes the synthesis of roughly fifty metres of road compressed into a single frame. The guardrail—usually an unnoticed fixture of travel—takes on a new role: its linear continuity, fixed before a shifting backdrop, echoes the natural horizons of his landscapes.
