Yann Rabanier’s Cars and Bodies

In a bid to highlight society’s dependence on cars, photographer Yann Rabanier (famous for his stripped-back portraits of actors and actresses), director and videographer Romain Dussaulx and architect Thomas Cestia have come together to create Cars and Bodies. The photographs were shot in Los Angeles, a city known for its heavy reliance on cars, very few pedestrians and lack of reliable public transport.

The photographic series shows different cars in different locations around LA, squeezing as many people into cars as they can to ‘represent the human traffic jam that exists in cars’. Heads, feet and legs can be seen poking out, with bodies pressed against windows and limbs seemingly belonging to both no one and everyone. At first glance this is a humorous series, but it soon gives way to one that is slightly disturbing and thought-provoking.
