Synopsis

Seafood and cocktails for Bond villains, a nightclub under a carpark, Mexican food at a family table, a cave graffitied by Jim Morrison, modernist villas on the lake, a secret speakeasy in Santa Monica. Get lost in the city that never stands still! The sundrenched vision of Venice Beach rollerbladers and Hollywood starlets has been ruptured in past decades by tensions of poverty and racial division. Now, middle-class people are flooding into former ganglands as an electric fusion of cultures takes place. In Los Angeles, LOST iN spoke to a hip-hop legend and music producer, a filmmaker and actress, a fashion designer and artist couple, a food expert and a beach-side family. A feature explores gangs vs. gentrification, a screenwriter tells a dark story of crime and ambition, and a local photographer captures that special way the sun hits Los Angeles.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Getting lost in the city is not about throwing away the map. It's about surrendering yourself to the essence of the place. The sights, smells, flavors and sounds that make it unique. The photography, the art, the creativity that provide its individual inspiration. Getting lost is diving headfirst into what makes each city its own.
