Gerd Ludwig

Edition Lammerhuber

In LA there are more than seven million cars. Ludwig is a night owl cruising in search of cars that speak to him. His cars are loners. They command their own space. The cars are photographed as he finds them. Their covers are like nightgowns. And some lucky ones sleep together.

Sleeping Cars

Beatrice Street. Sleeping Cars. October 2015. Los Angeles has 7 million registered cars. Sleeping Cars portraits where they go to rest. My cars are loners, they command their own space. Their covers are like nightgowns, some sleep in the nude, a few lucky ones get to sleep together. I never move the cars - I do not like to disturb them in their slumber.
