Buried Cars: Excavations

This book is a sci-fi artistic creation from the mind of the internationally recognized photographer and multimedia artist Patrick Nagatani (1945–2017).

The book presents the mysterious recovery of twenty-nine automobiles buried at power sites around the world.

The photographs document archaeological findings―at Stonehenge, New Mexico’s Very Large Array, and Chaco Canyon, to name a few locales. The protagonist is Japanese archaeologist Ryoichi (Nagatani’s alter ego) who excavates the twentieth-century vehicles.

The book includes chapters explaining the paradoxical aspects of the project and sixty images of the buried car excavations.
