'Karen Halverson: Mulholland' is NEW from MW Editions!

Featured images are reproduced from Karen Halverson: Mulholland, launching Saturday, September 25 in Los Angeles! Collecting Halverson’s panoramic photographs made along the iconic 52-mile California roadway, this book transports the reader from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Hollywood Hills in an evocative, vivid-dreamy way. “Mulholland is still a narrow, two-lane road, as it was when it was built in 1924,” Halverson writes. “Driving it is thrilling—like dancing with a challenging partner or watching a movie filled with jump cuts. Let your mind wander a bit, though, and you might find yourself pondering the delicate balance that’s been struck in this metropolis of twelve million people set in a semi-arid, earthquake-prone environment. For me, that balance—some might call it a precarious balance—is a wonder of Los Angeles, perhaps the wonder that gives the city its edge. Mulholland is at the juncture where human will and ingenuity meet the forces of nature.”
