(Signed) Some Los Angeles Apartments by Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson

A collection of works by Oslo-based artist Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson.

This book is a remake of Ed Ruscha's 1965 book Some Los Angeles Apartments. In this work, Johansson reenacts Ruchat's work using grainy, out-of-focus photographs from Google, exploring the more familiar and pervasive theme of 'surveillance' in our time. The frenzy for "documenting" everything Google does today takes on a nasty quality that is literally quite different from the photographic documentation of Ruscha's day.

Signed by the artist.
