Photographer Gerardo Korns second exhibition in Mumbai of vehicular marvels from the 60s and 70s on the streets of Buenos Aires, speaks of time standing still, a dominant theme of the pandemic

Gerardo Korn, well known Argentine-German photographer, is back with yet another fascinating project titled, Cars In The Night—Buenos Aires. This is his second exhibition in India. Presented by the Cosmic Heart Gallery and the Consulate General and Promotion Centre of the Argentine Republic in Mumbai, the virtual exhibition is guaranteed to transport the viewer to the archaeological neighbourhoods of the city. "I always lived in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, therefore my relationship with the city was somewhat distant. With time and especially with my first photography project, that has changed, although sometimes I still feel like a tourist in my own city. Therefore, it was crucial for me to document one of my favourite aspects—its classic cars," says Korn.

Another Torino, but in this case a four-door sedan. "I discovered it in an area where there are still many colonial style houses and old warehouses, and as we see, also this school, which gives the perfect framework for this colourful ensemble," says Korn
