crammed cars

51801
With very few pedestrians or bikes, and an unreliable public transport system, Los Angeles has been known for its car culture. Cars and Bodies is a collaborative project between photographer Yann Rabanier, director and videographer Romain Dussaulx and architect, Thomas Cestia. The series is a comment on our society’s dependence on vehicles.
The artists exaggerate the idea of ‘car culture’ by cramming as many friends and acquaintances as possible into one car. Always a different car, a different group of people and a new location – each representing LA’s various and sprawling districts. It even took several hours to fit everyone in and arrange the limbs on certain occasions. Yet as the photos show, there was often a comical tangle of limbs with hands, legs and feet squashed up against or poking out of windows.

“Most of the people in the cars didn’t know each other when we started but they definitely felt close after the shoot,” Dussaulx said. “I’m pretty sure that a lot of those people are now friends.”

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
