Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Terminal 3 Ticketing

​

Somewhere in Between: Los Angeles is an installation featuring video portraits that explore how identity and culture intersect in places, objects, and people’s lives. To capture the diversity of Los Angeles, I conducted interviews with 14 residents who live along the iconic Route 66 that connects Pasadena to Santa Monica, and who also identify as belonging to two or more places or cultures. Using a video camera, I documented the surroundings of my subjects, their activities, and wider glimpses of the city. The resulting artwork is an intimate perspective on the inseparable and omnipresent forces of culture, identity, and place by revealing aspects of a person through food, dress, and habits. The sequence of scenes creates fleeting and serendipitous associations between people and their environments, depicting a multilayered portrait of the greater Los Angeles area. Sponsored by Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs.
