Ayda Gragossian made the photographs in North North South by walking 'rather aimlessly' and taking pictures in different neighbourhoods to create a narrative of Los Angeles that reflects the socioeconomic marginalisation she encountered on a daily basis. Los Angeles comprises eighty-eight incorporated cities with severe socioeconomic disparities, a fact that gets lost by the glamour generated by the film and music industries. Most people rely on a car to navigate the great distances that characterise this metropolis, a mode of transportation that presents them with the opportunity to gloss over the increasing forms of inequality.
