About the Work
On the Line is an installation that features a collection of hanging photographs and a short film shot on 8mm. This work documents and highlights a specific area in the city of Los Angeles and the train that ties the artist's life together. The lined-up orientation of the installation alludes to the train line itself. Viewers travel from one piece to another as if joining the artist on the train and conversely, reflect on their own journey of locations that shaped them to be the person they are today. The hanging photographs end with the projected short film which narrates* the history of the train, the artist's life, and all the knowledge they have gained throughout their journey.
