HERNANDEZ, Anthony - Forever - ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP!

Background information

"The title 'Forever' by Anthony HERNANDEZ was drawn from a previous work 'Landscapes for the Homeless' (1996), exhibited at the Sprengel Museum in Hanover. The catalogue included a conversation between Anthony HERNANDEZ and Lewis BALTZ titled 'Forever Homeless: A Dialogue'. It was Lewis BALTZ who chose the title, and Anthony HERNANDEZ speaks of its prevailing significance, 'The title is very important because, as I write this, fifteen years on, the homeless population of Los Angeles has only increased; I could technically keep photographing this subject, making these kinds of pictures, forever'.” (© Mack Books, 2017)

Content

The photographic volume 'Forever' by Anthony HERNANDEZ comprises photographs taken in the downtown area of Los Angeles and the poorer neighbourhoods of Compton, Watts and South Central, made between 2007–2012. It traces the movements of the homeless, in images which take up the point of view of the homeless person. So, rather than photographing the material trace – a chair or bed – Anzthony HERNANDEZ photographs what might be might seen and observed from the street itself.
