Los (2001)
James Benning · 90m · 16mm

Moving southwards, Benning documents an L.A. that viewers “realize they don’t really know at all.” On-location sound matches static shots of highways, garbage disposal plants, prisons, beach joggers, and cemeteries. The tension between the ephemeral and the camera lens equivocates the struggle for breath in the cityscape, moving towards life as much as towards its own death.
