Thousands of kilometres by car and camera through Los Angeles, dream or nightmare? In his long-term project L.A. Crossing, ongoing since 2010, Jens Liebchen shows us the capital of unconditional mobility as it is preferably perceived by most of its inhabitants: through the windows of their cars. From the moving car, Liebchen looks at a city that unites the opposites of utopia and dystopia. L.A. Crossing itself sounds like the title of a film, and so the street becomes a stage and photography a kind of film still.
