COVERED CARS  
CVRD by Karin Apollonia Mller and Peter Nitsch

Karin Apollonia Mller and Peter Nitsch, both German lens-based artists, have been photographing covered cars over the last couple of years. Mller in Los Angeles, California, Nitsch in Bangkok, Thailand. Mller uses an ethereal palette of muted tones during daylight to sunset whereas Nitsch makes use of the nightly silence of colored spotlights and vibrant fluorescent street lights. Mller consequently horizontal, Nitsch consequently vertical.

Both positions go beyond a typological approach in the sense of the german traditional Becher school fostering an attitude of detached observation and striking picture detail. They both explore the nexus of cultural understanding and the allure of the unknown and hidden, mystery and certainty, conspiracy and truth.

CVRD by Karin Apollonia Mueller and Peter Nitsch. Karin Apollonia Mueller and Peter Nitsch, both German lens-based artists, have photographed covered cars over a certain period of time. Mueller in Los Angeles, California, Nitsch in Bangkok, Thailand; she as horizontal image, he as vertical; she at day, he at night. The series of sculptural images represents one western and one eastern view on covering vehicles. Moody lighting, strange scenery, fragile but existing, in between plastic structures. What else do they cover?
