IT CAN HAPPEN HERE is a series of photographic works that bear witness to a moment of heightened fear and uncertainty in America. Rooted in the streets of Los Angeles, the work confronts the demand for justice and the rage embedded in the American psyche.
Through immersive projections and combative symbolism—IT CAN HAPPEN HERE reflects the stark binaries of political polarization in a nation on a knife’s edge.

Special shout out to Thomas Noya @tsnoya who coded the generative work from our collaborative CYMATIC which was projected throughout the show.

“By introducing GAN imagery to this early photographic process, we staged an encounter between two paradigms: the capture of light on a sensitized plate and the computational generation of form from data.“

The two new pieces at @artbasel are Technical Image 6 + Technical Image 7 They are a part of an ongoing collaboration between myself and @reas Casey Reas. Reas is a pioneer in computer programming, co-founding Processing which has redefined how artists engage with code. Together we have been exploring the conversation around how GANs, code, and machine learning relate to the history of analog photography by challenging the boundaries of synthetic and organic data.

KILL CITY is a love letter to life and death in Los Angeles. Street level photographs of mixed methods on 35mm analog film are burned in flames. Reality is centered, with unexpected beauty found in the damaged capture.
Shot in the trenches, this collection is direct exposure of over a decade in the 2010s and early 2020s in Los Angeles. It spans uprisings, subcultures, chaos, kink, and spirituality while remaining a celebration of the will to overcome physical and psychological vulnerability.
KILL CITY’s hard edge melts perception and technique to offer a unique embodiment of life in LA.
