F15 Gallery Presents: Gerd Ludwig, Sleeping Cars | Beuys

F15 Gallery in Bremen, Germany is presenting SLEEPING CARS by Gerd Ludwig.
The exhibition features 21 large photographs of resting cars at night throughout
Los Angeles, undeniably the city of cars. Vehicles are the blood in the veins of this metropolis. Gerd Ludwig documents where these iconic Los Angeles inhabitants reside at night — tucked into driveways, proudly displayed in front of homes, glowing under streetlamps, covered with tarps, or simply left bare — evoking a mysterious quality reminiscent of the almost forgotten backdrops of the noir films so typical of Hollywood and Los Angeles.  "My cars are loners. They command their own space and like to show their presence. Like a devoted bird watcher I have learned to recognize their sleeping patterns. With voyeuristic pleasure I’ve spied on them in their nightgowns. I’ve watched some sleep in the nude; some take afternoon naps and a few lucky ones get to sleep together."

In addition to the SLEEPING CARS series, the exhibition features a
small selection of images of Joseph Beuys, captured by Gerd Ludwig in 1978.
Opening: April 14, 2023 at 6pm.

The exhibition will be on view through June 17, 2023.
