Michael Light: La Day, La Night
Angebote / Angebote:
The greater Los Angeles area covers 4, 850 square miles--the size of a small country--and holds almost 18 million people. Perhaps America's largest human creation, it has been vilified and celebrated in equal measure since its inception. Is L.A. the face of the apocalypse, or an ultimate paradise at continent's edge--or both? With "LA Day/LA Night, " photographer Michael Light continues his aerial examination of the arid American West by bringing together two opposing views of the city in a double-volume set. "LA Day" stares directly into the sun, which blasts the metropolis in a relentless and specific light. "LA Night" drifts over the city as it grows darker, and begins to resemble the starry sky vaulted above. Referencing Ed Ruscha, Peter Alexander, Julius Schulman and writers from Philip K. Dick to Raymond Chandler, "LA Day/LA Night" continues Los Angeles's rich cultural legacy of examining its favorite schizophrenic subject--itself.
