Efter att ha vallfärdat till Miso Susanowas installation CITY (Los Angeles) på Pirats under några dagar bestämde sig Apmel för att införskaffa den till sin privatsamling där redan Doll Face to Doll Face finns.

CITY (Los Angeles)
To experience CITY fully, please right-click the glowing star and SIT; using Mouselook is recommended.
I lived in Los Angeles for 25 years, most recently on Hollywood Blvd. & LaBrea, just across the street and one half-block away from the famous Grauman's Chinese Theatre.Los Angeles is a stage show; a Hollywood production. The city looks lovely and shiny from a distance or on television, but that reality is lived by less than 1% of its population. Most of us live in a "behind the scenes" reality of filthy streets, unresponsive or missing police, no air conditioning, crime, mini-mall blight, high unemployment, racism, virtual slavery (undocumented but useful workers) and incredible noise.
This city is never quiet. It is never still. It is not 'Baywatch' or 'The OC.' Everyone doesn't live in Santa Barbara or have a pool.
The sound for this piece was recorded out my own apartment window between 12-3am. The side photos were taken in my apartment and outside it. The floor and ceiling are overlays of traffic patterns on the all-encompassing freeways, as are the flowing parts of the "star."
For this I payed $1000USD per month and all utilities.

Fantastisk. Svår att slita sig ifrån.
Apmel, I am greatly honored you would like CITY enough to purchase it, a very deep compliment. Thank you.
Plus, you take so much better pictures than me, I have stolen yours for my own scrapbook. Please don't tell the copyright people ^_^
