The photographs in Origin[Redux] depict a Los Angeles that you’ve never seen. Just beyond the facade of Hollywood, ensnared by serpentine freeways, exists a state of primitiveness…of wildness. Origin[Redux] invites the viewer to participate in fantasy. The imagery constructs a speculative fiction which explores what the geography of greater Los Angeles will look like once humans no longer inhabit the land. Gone are the skyscrapers, billboards, and other evidence of Western opulence. In their place natural elements reemerge: textured geology, rugged foothills, lush primordial vegetation, and a vast hypnotic ocean.
