Freelander City vs Nature

Land Rover is promoting the Freelander 2 as a car that excels in both a natural environment and an urban landscape. To dramatize that fact, Y&R New York sought to show two characters fighting over the car, one character representing nature, the other representing city, almost like two children fighting over a toy. Artist Levi van Veluw was commissioned to construct and photograph two mannequins from scratch in his studio in the Netherlands. “City” consists of model cars and other miniature objects as well as small, wooden blocks. “Nature” features actual moss, grass, leaves, flowers and mud were used to create “Nature.” “Freelander 2 For all terrains”.
