Palms in Green

These are unavoidable signs that litter our line of vision in contemporary urban culture, yet on a long expanse of highway after a seemingly endless drive, they are signs that indicate a resting place, a momentary home Shot in camera, the artist uses a yellow filter to cast the gauzy tint of nostalgia upon LA’s relentless and utopian blue sky. The material quality of the resulting metallic print lends the scene the look of a hologram: the colours pop, the 3-dimensionality of the tree bark is hyperreal. The result is shiny, seductive, otherworldly, hyperbolic. The result is undoubtedly LA.
