Laks along with co-author Lars Theriot will introduce their new book: Lost Hollywood published by America Through Time.

Lost Hollywood is an attempt to capture for posterity those locations which remain, before the movies become the only place we can see them again. The only constant in Hollywood is change, and as the movie business rushes headlong into the digital age, the effects of physical and cultural change can be seen most clearly in the iconic Los Angeles locations where our favorite movies were filmed. Some have become unrecognizable, some have disappeared altogether.

Zousmer: “For ostracized populations across the globe and throughout history, stereotyping has proven damaging and at times, even deadly. In my ongoing effort to dispel prejudices, I have spent my career investigating marginalized groups and the ways they cope with the physical and mental hardships that befall them. In MIS[S]UNDERSTOOD, I aspire to uproot entrenched biases against Irish Traveller girls and women.

They are not just a culture but an art form that has endured for centuries, sparking curiosity in me. Exploited socially and politically, my project expresses dignity and humanity."

This promises to be a provocative night of photography.
