Ayda Gragossian made the photographs in North North South by walking ‘rather aimlessly’ and
taking pictures in different neighbourhoods to create a narrative of Los Angeles that reflects
the socioeconomic marginalisation she encountered on a daily basis. Los Angeles comprises
eighty-eight incorporated cities with severe socioeconomic disparities, a fact that gets lost by the
glamour generated by the film and music industries. Most people rely on a car to navigate the great
distances that characterise this metropolis, a mode of transportation that presents them with the
opportunity to gloss over the increasing forms of inequality.
Ayda Gragossian is an Iranian visual artist based in Los Angeles. She has a BA in Photography and
Painting from California State University Northridge and an MFA from the Ruskin School of Art,
University of Oxford. Her work addresses the notions of displacement, impermanence, longing,
and nostalgia, individually and collectively. Her work has been exhibited internationally and has
been featured in online platforms such as fotofilmic, Nowhere Diary, All Cities are Beautiful, and
Another Place.
