アメリカ人フォトグラファー、ジョン・ディヴォラ（John Divola）の作品集。本書は2004年に刊行された同作のリマスター版として2025年に刊行された一作。

1995年から1998年にかけて、作者は南カリフォルニアでポツンと建つ一軒家を撮影するシリーズに取り組んでいた。取り留めもなく砂漠を車で進んでいると、時折、犬が追いかけてきた。1996年のある日、フィルムの巻き上げを素早く行うための巻き上げ自動装置「モータードライブ（Motor drive）」を装備した35mmカメラと、高感度で粒子の目立つモノクロフィルムを持ち出し始めた。撮り方はいたって簡単であり、犬が車に向かってくるのを見つけると、あらかじめピントを合わせ、露出を設定するのである。

車を追いかける犬について熟考することは、様々な比喩や対比を思い浮かべる。文化と自然、家畜と野生、愛と憎しみ、喜びと恐怖、英雄的なものと馬鹿げたもの。直感的で活力あふれるダンスとして見ることもできるのではなかろうか。

“From 1995 to 1998, I worked on a series of photographs of isolated houses in the desert at the east-end of the Morongo Valley in Southern California. As I meandered through the desert, a dog would occasionally chase my car. Sometime in 1996 I began to bring along a 35mm camera equipped with a motor drive and loaded with a fast and grainy black-and-white film. The process was simple; when I saw a dog coming toward the car I would pre-focus the camera and set the exposure. With one hand on the steering wheel, I would hold the camera out the window and expose anywhere from a few frames to a complete roll of film. I'll admit that I was not above turning around and taking a second pass in front of a house with an enthusiastic dog. Contemplating a dog chasing a car invites any number of metaphors and juxtapositions: culture and nature, the domestic and the wild, love and hate, joy and fear, the heroic and the idiotic. It could be viewed as a visceral and kinetic dance. Here we have two vectors and velocities, that of a dog and that of a car and, seeing that a camera will never capture reality and that a dog will never catch a car, evidence of devotion to a hopeless enterprise.” - John Divola
