Under the Bonnet

April Francis

 Under the Bonnet is a photographic project that explores the demise of the traditional repair of our fossil fuelled vehicles, now largely programmed, computerized and increasingly electric. It celebrates the mechanical and manual labour that kept us safe and on the road, now mostly hidden in code. As the future approaches, our garages face uncertainty. They will need to adapt with the times or risk fading into history. What will become of these spaces and the people who own and run them in a cleaner and quieter world?
