Lauren Halsey's new show 'Emajendat' at the Serpentine in London takes visitors on a surreal, and color-packed visit to South Central Los Angeles.
The show is called “Emajendat,” a take on “imagine that,” and features a 3D dreamscape filled with found objects, big white rock structures daubed in neon pink, green and orange, and palm trees large and small made from cutout glass.
Their pictures are everywhere — in color and black and white, cut out from books and album covers, or family snapshots. They’re collaged under the transparent floors in the main room, and dotted along the glassy leaves of the miniature palm trees. “The material culture in South Central is incredibly rich. It’s just to die for. And I’m an avid collector of knickknacks, from figurines to incense to graphic design to clothes. I’m obsessed with whatever people are making with their hands,” the artist said during an interview in London.
