In The Name Of Art: The Mercedes GL450 Goes For A Swim

Posted by www.eMercedesBenz.com on October 26th, 2006 At 10:50 AM CST

What happens when you take a new GL450 , submerge it in a giant water  
tank, then throw in the sultry Eva Mendez clad in a delectably form- 
accentuating couture gown swimming alongside the said Mercedes model?

The answer of course is art, and thanks to photographer Michael  
Muller, we now have an accurate representation of what exactly the  
aforementioned art looks like.

In a recent art project entitled "Quiet", Michael photographs this as  
well as twenty-four other underwater scenarios, all of which aim to  
portray the silence and stillness one experiences when underwater.  
The exhibit is part of an effort to raise money for The Art of  
Elysium in Universal City, California, with all proceeds from the  
sale of "Quiet" pieces going to benefit the not-for-profit organization.

If you're interested, twenty-five prints of Eva Mendez and the  
Mercedes GL450 are up for sale; pricing, however, has not been  
announced. For more information, visit the The Art of Elysium's  
website where you can learn about the project as well as how to  
acquire one of the piece(s) for yourself.

You can also view several photos of the GL450 being submerged (none  
of which made it into the collection) by visiting www.eMercedesBenz.com.
