LA 82 — Olivier Assayas & Raymond Depardon, 2019

Los Angeles at a turning point. In 1982, Raymond Depardon photographs the city while Olivier Assayas reflects on cinema, industry and myth. Palm trees, façades and roadside signs become fragments of a cultural landscape suspended between glamour and disillusion. The book moves with documentary clarity, letting image and text construct a sharp portrait of Hollywood’s margins and machinery. An illustrated edition that captures a precise historical moment through the meeting of film and photography.
