This set of photographs is a selection of work from the first year of Archival Recordings. They are a reflection of the clearly visible decline underway in Los Angeles, fueled by an out of control housing market and an increase in economic disparity at all levels. It also serves as a backdrop to the impending race to prepare the city for the 2028 Olympic games.
