Electric Moons tells the social, industrial, and architectural history of Los Angeles through a pervasive but invisible element?the design of its street lamps.Chris Burden's sculpture "Urban Light" (located in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art) has become one of the most identifiable landmarks in the city. This book was born from author India Mandelkern's time working with Burden at LACMA. This book illuminates the "sunshine noir" that has made LA the backdrop for so many films that have become classics: Blade Runner, LA Confidential, and Chinatown, among others. Will appeal to cinephiles, Southern California history buffs, and listeners/readers of Roman Mars' hit podcast 99% Invisible and his best-selling companion book. Illustrated throughout with stunning photography from renowned artist Tom Bertolotti
