La Town
‘La Town’ places us in the midst of an envisaged, incipient, either recently past or impending catastrophe. Using tiny models, the artist creates a world suspended somewhere between reality and dystopia, a ‘world community’ in miniature, where a happy coexistence is no more than a promise, a brief interlude in the unrelenting tide of a violent, destructive history. Overlaid with a French existential narrative, La Town poses serious questions about the future of humanity, isolation, and connectivity in a city that is at once no city and every city.
