Catherine Opie: harmony is fraught

Catherine Opie’s “harmony” is fraught at Regen Projects presents over sixty photographs in and of Los Angeles, never shown publicly before. The photographs, taken over the span of over thirty years, trace a personal story of the complex city Opie made her home, a city ever-evolving yet eternally familiar. From shaving to protesting, freeways to beaches, “harmony is fraught” captures moments of everyday life alongside the city’s perpetual motion. Altogether, the images plot a ghost map of sites and personae that embody Los Angeles’ past and present.
