David LaChapelle, the noted photographer and apparent horn-dog, has composed a couple of his characteristically surreal images using Maybach Zeppelins (old and new) as a prop/inspiration.
The company revealed the shots in association with Art Basel Miami Beach, the same art festival that Audi used a s a backdrop for the reveal of its new A8 sedan.
The image above, which depicts the current Zeppelin, uses the time-honored arty backdrop of utter desolation juxtaposed (art folks love that word) against the pristine car.
The second image, which we've chosen to put after the jump because of its, er, racier nature is what Maybach refers to as a "surreal tablaeux" which is a charmingly inoffensive way to describe what appears to be a New Year's Eve orgy. Maybe we should instead think of it as an exploration of indulgence. Yes, that's better.
You know you're going to make that jump, don't you? We also have a gallery of behind-the-scenes moments in the production of the two shots. Enjoy.
