🗞️ The Double City - LA CITTÀ DOPPIA (2024)
————
Homeless Republic
When you picture Los Angeles, you might envision palm trees, drunk parties, filtered smiles and half naked models lying on a beach. When I viewed it from the perspective of a mere resident, I found the unpolished, underexposed side of this city that made it the “Homeless Republic”.
I lived in a Latino neighbourhood near the University of Southern California. It was messy, dirty, poor, and yet extraordinary - extraordinary because it was un-carved, raw, and real. Nothing seemed more free-spirited than the art created amidst the ruins, and nothing appeared more vigorous than the flowers blooming in the garbage dumps.
“Homeless Republic” aims to capture the often overlooked reality of the “California Republic”, highlighting the human capacity for hope and beauty even in the most challenging circumstances. This approach offers a fresh, multi-layered interpretation of the harsh realities of homelessness and poverty, juxtaposed with the prosperous and idyllic California dream.
