LA Paradise

Artist Alix Vollum works under many guises. At the moment, her most visible might be here. This newsprint booklet mimics the alternative LA Weekly, highlighting the most visually arresting sections, its ads. Vollum reworks the signifiers, creating her own (reams and reams of) text and reflecting back the imagery into a pleasurable cloud of hedonistic mumbo jumbo. It's both a tempting reminder into the numbing glory of the marketplace, and a warning against its voodoo seductions. Looking at this is kind of like sniffing a popper. Signed edition of 500.
