Lola Rennt #2

Lola Rennt is our running series — a small body of frames built around women in motion through European city light. Each piece holds a different stride: a coat catching wind, hair pulled into a horizontal blur, the pavement sliding underneath while the figure stays steady at the centre. The reference is obvious and unembarrassed — Tom Tykwer's red-haired sprint through late-nineties Berlin, the way that film made urgency feel romantic rather than panicked. We wanted that register. Not the chase, but the resolve. The palette across the series leans into saturated coats — violet, scarlet, ochre — set against the cooler architecture of glass facades, kerbstones, asphalt warmed by low sun. Faces stay readable but never posed. Backgrounds smear; the figure stays. The work sits in a photographic register that nods to Wong Kar-wai's long-shutter cityscapes and to nineties fashion editorial — the soft daylight of that era's magazines, the trust in motion. The aim isn't action. It's the portrait of decisive movement, made for walls that want a little forward energy in the room.
