Eerily realistic virtual landscapes inspired by Grand Theft Auto V,
exquisitely reproduced in duotone printing All the images in this
work derive from wallpapers and screenshots taken by different
users while playing Grand Theft Auto V -a videogame set in Los
Santos, an "open world" scenario that closely resembles Los Angels
and its surroundings. Thus, the city of the Studios, of Hollywood
and film industry, becomes itself a staged set and a virtual
replica, a duplicate of its original. This work explores whether is
it possible to photograph a virtual place, what it means to do so,
and the question of authorship. It is also intended as a tribute to
a long series of great photographers who worked in Los Angeles
widely throughout the second half of the past century. With their
own perspectives, these artists all contributed to the creation of
an image of a city that is still vivid and lasting - one that is
mimicked, simulated, and photographed in this project. "Leafing
through West of Here, the beautiful photographic book by Leonardo
Magrelli just released for the American Yoffy Press - an elegant
volume right from the color chosen for the cover (a Cool Gray 5 C
Pantone that Martin Margiela would love) - one has like the
impression of knowing what you are seeing and experiencing at that
precise moment, but in reality that landscape with houses, cars,
palm trees, beaches, lights and so on, shows that nothing is as it
seems." - Huffington Post
