Background information
The out-of-print catalogue volume 'Landscapes for the Homeless' by Anthony HERNANDEZ accompanied a 1995 exhibition."By the 1980s, he was working with large format cameras, which necessitated a slower and more deliberate shooting style. (...) By the 1990s, his style shifted, as he concentrated on color and close-up details. Most of his pictures since the mid-1980s are devoid of human subjects--although their presence is felt. Projects such as 'Landscapes for the Homeless' (1988-91), 'Waiting for Los Angeles' (1996-98), and 'Everything (The Los Angeles River Basin)' (2003-2004) documented how the city's human presence has been reduced to the traces and debris left by destructive social forces."
