The last outpost of the American West, Los Angeles might be described as the culmination of cultural history in the United States. Ewan Telford’s vision of the city is not that of “Tinseltown” and Californian sun and surf, as it is commonly (mis)understood, but that of a 21st-century megalopolis after 40 years of neoliberal capitalism. It is a city of corporate empires and militarised police, gated communities and environmental catastrophe. But Los Angeles is also a city of unfathomable mystery and strange beauty. ‘The Ecology of Dreams’ is a superbly photographed and annotated subjective compendium of the city’s collective unconscious, its memories, history, and fictions.
