Gabi Trinkhaus' "LO SE MON" Tricks the Mind

From a distance, no one could be faulted for thinking this was an aerial view of L.A.  Closer inspection reveals that this is a collage of a supposed web of streetlights and highways that dematerializes into a collage of advertisements found in pop culture magazines.  The brightness of the city is merely consumer glitz and brand names.

Gabi Trinkhouse calls the work "LO SE MON," an acronym for love, sex, money - what makes the world go round.  The media domination of urban society is totally evident here.
