Alles über Autos

The world’s luck is behind the wheel of a car. And it races along the German autobahn at 250 km/h. The car is more than just a transportation vehicle. It is a way of life, the pride and joy of a nation. But is the dream of the car still possible today? As the climate crisis worsens and new technologies slowly push old ones out of the market, jobs are still being pitted against environmental protection.
Sunan Gus and Louisa Sausner’s texts humorously combine criticism of the automotive industry with empathy for the living spaces that depend on it. Based on a factory hall at a standstill, Everything About Cars explores what can happen when crisis management is suspended and coping begins. A moment of calm opens up the space for a recalibration of the system. Textual set pieces, based on personal memories and interviews with employees in the automotive industry, are assembled into a very unique history of the car.
