Communion Los Angeles ( 68 mins / digital video / 2018 )
A collaboration with Peter Bo Rappmund.
Communion Los Angeles explores California’s oldest freeway as it courses from the mountains to the ocean, defining and dividing the communities it is designed to serve. The video is equinoctial, and presents the 35-miles of blacktop as both infrastructure and architecture as it highlights dichotomies of mobility, technology and urban space.
