Reusing photographs originally shot on film in 2010 (post-financial crisis), they were scanned and compiled into a slideshow with digital photographs shot in the same style in 2019. The former showcase the façades of homes in my former South Los Angeles neighborhood as well as commercial structures in various stages of disrepair alongside the adjacent decommissioned BNSF railway. The latter showcase similar Black & Brown neighborhoods in East and Southeast Houston currently facing gentrification and that remind me of my former home in Los Angeles. This new sequence of photographs is superimposed with a voiceover dialogue that re-frames these architectural structures and their materiality as ephemeral embodiments of histories and cultures.
