In his series Oblivion, David Maisel presents aerial photographs of the greater Los Angeles area, inverting light and dark to offer an entirely unfamiliar view of the sprawling city. By reducing the metropolitan "landscape" to the travel arteries that run north and south, east and west, disappearing into each other and the horizon, Maisel's photographs highlight the modern city void of any cultural or human context. In doing so, his photographs show the city as a constantly expanding organism, continuously pushing past its own boundaries to a new world beyond.
