In September 2023, they spent a month in an early 1900s bungalow in Echo Park, Los Angeles – their first time visiting the city.  It felt like a Lynchian dream: wandering through paradise-like garden neighborhoods, hearing owls at night from bed, watching coyotes from the porch swing at dusk, sitting in cars rolling along in an endless stream of other cars. But mesmerizing scenes could shift abruptly into unsettling ones. The artists were drawn to the contrast between light and shadow – on multiple levels. A peaceful stroll down a quiet street lined with blooming flowers suddenly turns into a frantic escape from a bloodhound trying to tear through a fence to get to them. A sinister stairway leading down from the sunlit Sunset Boulevard awakens primal fears. A black hole in the last few meters of a dark sidewalk – just before reaching a legendary diner-turned-music-club – seems like it could swallow you whole. Plant-based pizzas kill your appetite. And monster trucks are real.\u2028\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLina Müller (1981) and Luca Schenardi (1978) regularly take time for their collective drawing work besides their own illustration commissions for clients like \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDie Zeit\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBloomberg Businessweek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePatience \/ Impatience\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eemergence magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSüddeutsche Zeitung Magazin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
