CORINNE MESNER
LOS ANGELES
Throughout her life, Corinne lived and worked in Los Angeles, moving to Hollywood in her twenties. This series, completed between 1993 and 1995, explores the grit of what it meant to live in such an electric city during that time period. The 1990s were a time of harsh reality mixed with impending change, from the L.A. riots to the increasing awareness of the LGBTQ community. Influences mirrored in this series are the power of the media, love, hate, inequality, identity, freedom, wildness, spirit, darkness, community and the fierceness of Los Angeles.
