Special Event
Tim Davis Book Signing at Artbook in Los Angeles
Saturday, July 10
3:00 p.m. PST
Artbook at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles Bookstore and Aperture present an in-store book launch and signing with photographer Tim Davis for I’m Looking Through You, an expansive visual poem celebrating the glamorous surface of Los Angeles and its reach.
Davis states, “The camera is a machine that sees only surfaces. The world casts its spell, and the camera gobbles up its glamour, uncritically, with pure certainty, assuming there is nothing underneath.” Davis’s keenly observational images, interspersed with a selection of his writings on the medium—the joys and pitfalls of camera seeing—solidify I’m Looking Through You as an unabashed celebration of photography.
