Way Bigger Than A Train Horn


I can't remember how I ended up collecting videos of car horns, I suppose at the beginning it was simply humorous as a sound alone but then as I collated the footage I started to think about the psychological trends between people that rely on having the biggest or 'best' of something to make a statement about themselves. There's a definite sexual innuendo and a phallic reference surrounding a horn, so the combination of the positions taken by the females in the cars and the soul music I have chosen perhaps create a perversely comedic situation from this re-appropriated video footage.
