Both Sides of Sunset: Photographing Los Angeles

Both Sides of Sunset "finds consistency, or at least a through line, in the fragments, makes a case to frame the city as a whole," David L. Ulin writes in his Introduction to Both Sides of Sunset, currently accompanied by an exhibition at Hamburg Kennedy gallery in New York. "Again, the double vision: Los Angeles requires us to peer beneath the surface, even as the surface continues to beguile. We are always zooming in and out, adjusting focus, looking for the larger story in the smaller, the smaller story in the larger, recalibrating our sense of place here, our relationship to the landscape and what it does or does not mean." Bruce Davidson's "Untitled" (2012) is reproduced from the book.
