IMAGE number
UIG800135
Image title
Giant heavy-lidded eyes painted on side and back panels and pastel-colored scarves fluttering from cab windows are intended to ward off the evil eye. Karachi, Pakistan. 2005. Pakistani truck drivers may spend two year's wages customizing their Bedfords or Hinos, buying splendiferous vehicular makeovers that employ painters, carvers, metal chasers, weavers and bric-a-brac assemblage artists - some 50,000 of them in Karachi alone. Some of the decorations echo motifs that adorned pottery, textiles and oxcarts nine millennia ago, but to the owner-drivers, its business: 'More people will hire me if I have a beautifully painted truck,' says one.
