Overview

"I have always had the dream to make books that would mirror a life formed by the wind pushing us, by the fires I always ignite much to the polices chagrin: books that, like my photographs, my drawings, my writing like an attitude are not produced but crafted. Together with Martin Dorgeval as the conductor, and Gerhard Steidl as the wizard-publisher, I have ventured to gather these energies and to follow my intuition, to adjoin one by one my spelling mistakes, my un-photogenic works, my pens pirouettes, their reverberating souls to take you with me through mountains of dreams over oceans of laughter and into my life shared with millions whose loving eyes rest on me. ""Autocar, Omnibus"" is a series of tailored books of indescribable forms linking the artist, who is driving the bus, with his readers/passengers who are often models, victims, fatally delivered to the cameras shutter and the drawn line; linking their fantasies, their needs for evasion, and offering shelter within these whimsical books. And now the adventure continues with new collages, drawings and painted portraits to enjoy! Ensure your place on the ongoing Autocar journey with the new volumes six to eleven. Francois-Marie Banier was born in Paris in 1946 where he continues to live and work. He is the author of several novels and plays, and the creator of more than twenty photo-books. Banier contributes regularly to ""The New Yorker"". A tireless flaneur, Banier likes nothing more than to wander the streets of Paris with his Leica camera and notebook, portraying whatever he chooses, forever in search of bodies and faces."
