If art imitated life, it would resemble Hemingway's Garage. To guide us through the secrets of culture, Mark Axelrod combed Europe and America, photographing products and businesses bearing the great names of Western Civilization, and then recounted the almost unknown twists of fate that forced immortal spirits to deal with earthly matters.
Axelrod reconnects contemporary reality with a dreamlike legacy that seems magnificent in its past. With his documents and inventions, he satirizes and undermines the art of enterprise and creates a literary labyrinth reminiscent of the best pages of magical realism.
Learn the untold story behind Van Gogh's potatoes, Rembrandt's toothpaste, and Toulouse-Lautrec's bags. Enjoy a Pollo la Strada at Fellini's restaurant and learn about the "hidden years of Jesus" at the tavern "Jesus's Hut". For those who mourn the prostitution of our culture, "Hemingway's Garage" is a clear proof that art continues to live.
