Hamiltons presents Lost in L.A., the most recent series by the photographer Christopher Thomas. With these atmospheric
black and white photographs, Thomas brings his unique style of city portraiture to Los Angeles, originally established in
Münchner Elegien (2001–2005), New York Sleeps (2009), Venice in Solitude (2010) and Paris: City of Light (2014). As
with his previous series, he transports the viewer to a silent city, devoid of human presence and cars, particularly
extraordinary in a portrait of L.A. The exhibition includes classic views and motifs associated with the city, such as the
Hollywood Sign, Randy’s Donuts, Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and Santa Monica Beach, as well as more
unexpected pictures of oil pumps, solitary piers stretching into the Pacific Ocean and the nucleus and centre of Los
Angeles under the Spaniards. Prestel Publishers is releasing a new book, Christopher Thomas: Lost in L.A., with the full
series of images and text by Ira Stehmann.
