Bernard Yenelouis' "Shelter" comprised of new photographic works, are a secret tour to the history of Los Angeles modernist architecture from within the perspective of how these places turn up in media. Shooting in Polaroid film, which is then re-photographed and printed on photo paper, gives the images a distinctive grainy colored quality very unlike the effects of digital. This off-center map to L.A. is at first glance just a study in atmosphere and light, but upon closer inspection becomes an archeology of the places that define the "familiar" worlds we know from cinema and television.
