Ajibike, La Baig Avenue, 2010.  © Lise Sarfati / Rose Gallery You can see the stunning work of Lise Sarfati in her latest exhibition, On Hollywood, at Rose Gallery in Santa Monica.  On Hollywood includes photographs shot on and around Hollywood’s urban stream over the course of 2009 and 2010. In these images, the sharp focus is on the dimension of the landscape in its most ordinary manifestations; empty sidewalks, cluttered storefronts, parking lots and cars. Hollywood is at once an iconic American setting populated by women who believe in bygone realities, as well as a zone of the universal and mundane occupied by women living on the margins. Sarfati describes the women she photographs as “toys of strange and terrible fates they are aware of but which they never seem to achieve any control over”. The underlying theme of these pictures is thus, the way these women choose to project themselves and the tension between their illusions and life’s actualities in modern day Los Angeles. On Hollywood opens this Saturday, February 25 and runs until March 26. Read more about it on their website.
