A car crash distracts because we want to know what happened. It punctures the everyday, where fate looms in close proximity. The impracticality of a sports car adds a slapstick level of dark humour. Thinking about a sports car symbolically - the object exists in relation to the subjective self. Lack is created through the artificial subject/object relation. Lack necessarily represents a false moral failure. There is a visual rhyming between the car and the devil mask, but also in terms of the crash flirting with the superstition of ulterior forces at play. And how the hidden workings of fate and morality have continually been seen to be diabolical.
