Swan Moon revisits her teenage years as a Korean American growing up in the cultural shadow of Hollywood—where cinema’s myths loomed large and personal history blurred with fantasy.While alternative youth were raving and Larry Clark’s Kids was defining a generation, Moon and her friends were doing something profoundly divergent: dressing in vintage clothing, staging impromptu, cinematically adjacent environments, and living out an aesthetic that was wildly out of sync with the time. The work feels improvised, playful—shot with flea market props and makeshift lighting which carried with it an amateurish charm. Moon wasn’t imitating Cindy Sherman—she had yet to know that name let alone see the iconic Untitled Film Stills—but she was drawing directly from the language of cinema, attempting to insert herself and her circle within the medium’s canon.The photographs echo mid-century domesticity—gestures borrowed from the 1950s and ’60s—but subverted through the awareness and often overwrought angst of the 1990s. Sexuality here is present but subdued, expressed with a tenderness that would soon be obliterated by the onset of the Internet's rise. There’s humor, style and an earnest make-believe that is refreshing in light of today’s hyper self-awareness and image saturation.Designed with a nod to Hollywood's silver screen, Swan Moon’s Swan Moon includes a curated soundtrack and character credits at the book’s conclusion. An afterword by the esteemed writer Chris Kraus brings clarity and context to Moon’s love letter to a nostalgic Los Angeles—her version of the city and its youthful inhabitants that feels both deeply personal and entirely lost to time. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/los-angeles/swan-moons-swan-moon-los-angeles-book-signing-and-artist-talk/100001983567324263 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, fine-arts, entertainment, kids, flea - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Los Angeles - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: ARTBOOK @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles - **lat**: 34.0461149 - **long**: -118.2347009 - **full address**: ARTBOOK @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, 917 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Swan Moon's Swan Moon Los Angeles Book Signing & Artist Talk - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/7af54e5e0ca7e27ed11cb4b506f19c02f365505bc9e7fb33cde1126a483dfe71-rimg-w1200-h822-dc2c2c2d-gmir.jpg?v=1771659106 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Swan Moon's Swan Moon Los Angeles Book Signing & Artist Talk being held? - **A:** Swan Moon's Swan Moon Los Angeles Book Signing & Artist Talk takes place on Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm at ARTBOOK @ Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles, 917 East 3rd Street, Los Angeles, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Swan Moon's Swan Moon Los Angeles Book Signing & Artist Talk? - **A:** Swan Moon's Swan Moon Los Angeles Book Signing & Artist Talk is organized by Artbook @ Hauser & Wirth LA Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
