MY CAR IS MY HOME / Los Angeles


Yes, everyone who knows La, also knows about the biggest issue of the “city”.
It´huge, which means being always on the car. Then there is this traffic and the fear of traffic jams, which kind of structures your day and your friendships, dear people become strangers when they move away. The time on cars is not always wasted, people do things while waiting. This series was made in collaboration with LA eye works for “Uncensored Visions” which is an ongoing series of photographic interpretations of l.a.Eyeworks’ eyewear designs seen through the lenses of an emerging generation of photographers.

Thanks to the amazing people of LA eyeworks for making it happen,
that each person I photographed got a pair of glasses for present and Maira Becke for putting us in touch.
Thanks also to the mechanic Arin, who let me use some of his cars.
In exchange I took these pictures of him. And I think, that this already tells the story of his acting ambitions! (Hell yes, I got him shirtless;)
