Blown your car to smithereens? Welcome to the garage where the panel beaters wear patent leather and stilettos as sharp as glass and their nails match the shiny car doors.
In this fantasy shoot, Karen Inderbitzen-Waller and Delphine Avril Planqueel capture a distinct love for automobiles, playing on the erotica of cars in a female dominated world - inspired by an amalgamation of films including David Cronenberg’s Crash with its allure of auto collision, the epic Chrysler Building demolition in Cremaster 3 and French horror film Titane, where a woman develops an unusual erotic relationship with automobiles after a childhood car crash.
