Los Angeles.

Infrared in noir
The city between dreams and their aftermath.

Los Angeles is a city perpetually performing itself. The photographs in Infrared in Noir focus on the remnants between performances: aging marquees, forgotten storefronts, vacant streets, and the architecture that survives after the audience leaves. Rather than documenting landmarks, the work looks for evidence of memory hidden in ordinary places.
