L.A. Crossing<\/p>
\u00bbL.A. Crossing\u00ab is a series of photographs taken since 2010 as part of the La Brea Matrix project in Los Angeles. \u00bbLa Brea, Stephen Shore\u2018s key photograph of 1975, constitutes the conceptual core of the La Brea Matrix Project. Shore\u00b4s photograph taken at the intersection of Beverly Boulevard and La Brea Avenue in 1975 has become part of the collective memory of photography. For the La Brea Matrix Project six art photographers from Germany have accepted an invitation to Los Angeles as part of an artist-in-residence program to search for photographic points of reference to this iconic picture.\u00ab<\/p>
\u00bbJens Liebchen decided to photograph Los Angeles from the perspective of a riding car - thus showing the city in the way it is commonly experienced by most of its residents. He drove around the city for thousands of kilometres in order to observe the outside world from a driver\u00b4s privileged point of view, and by limiting his perspective he discovered a hidden side to the city. His hyper-real colour photographs show homeless people, isolated pedestrians and people waiting for the bus in front of anonymous facades. \u00bbHis images reveal a haunting setting. It\u00b4s a ghost-like curtain you\u00b4d rather not look behind\u00ab, Freddy Langer recently wrote about Liebchen\u00b4s photo series. \u00bbDO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION\u00ab, a traffic sign declares somewhere \u2013 there\u00b4s probably no more succinct way of capturing the photographer\u00b4s sociological observations than that.\u00ab Christoph Schaden, in FOAM international photography magazine, # 25
