While exploring a Mediterranean island, Burgin came across the rusting remains of a car abandoned in a stand of pines. Based on the photographs and notes he made, he reconstructed the scene in 3D computer space, elaborating upon it through written and visual representations of the associations it prompted. Here, personal memories mingle with a tale from the life of Goethe, an image from a film by Antonioni and the plot of a Handel opera.
