Car Handle print - 1971 Opel GT

Roee Ben Yehuda's Car Handles photographic series transforms a familiar functional detail into an object of contemplation. By isolating automobile door handles from the vehicles they belong to, the photographs reveal them as miniature sculptures—carefully shaped intersections of industry, design, and cultural aspiration. Focusing on a single recurring element across decades of automotive production, the series uncovers subtle shifts in aesthetics, technology, and taste, where chrome, plastic, curves, and mechanisms become markers of their time. Removed from their everyday context and presented as fine art prints, these overlooked objects invite a closer look, revealing an unexpected beauty embedded within the designed world that surrounds us.
