Original Photographs for Re-Inscribing Hollywood: A Coloring Book

"Walking LA" emerged from my desire to read the city of Los Angeles at a slower pace when I moved here from Amsterdam, the Netherlands in 2005. In doing so, I walked in the city during the period of 2005-2007. During my walks, I documented places of absence, such as empty billboard signs, blank marquees and vacant shop windows. I was intrigued by the layers of surface spaces in Los Angeles among the density of advertising within the visual culture of the city. These photographs became a set for the performance work, "Walking LA| (Sur)facing the City" wherein the performers interacting with them through movement and writing--re-inscribing the city with humor, imagination and memory.

This work premiered at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego in March 2008 and at G72 in Los Angeles. It will be shown again on October 2nd at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum.
