Photograph, Pigment print, Image size: 19x25cm, edition of 01/05. LA Continued is a departure from Apollonia Müller's previous exploration of photographing Los Angeles (Angels in Fall, On Edge), observing and photographing the city from above, detached from the world. Here in LA Continued, she urges connection, culture, history and language. Ultimately, it is about the collective moment, with all its persistent brutality and injustice, but also the longing for freedom and joy. Apollonia met Pinky at a gallery Opening at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. Pinky, a bit shy though, was part of the art scene and owned by a photography collector.
