107th Street, Watts is a conceptual photography project shot in the dense historic battleground of Watts, California. Performing the type of clinical overlay of the street in the manner of Ed Ruscha and his well-known mappping of the “Sunset Strip” of 1966, 107th Street, Watts formally mimics Ruscha’s book by presenting every building on 107th Street (the location of the historic Watts Towers) in a seven foot photomontage. The book has a single accordion-fold page that can be opened and pulled out for an undisturbed viewing from end to end. The book comes sheathed in a small rectangular box which also houses a book of essays by the writer Lynell George of the Los Angeles Times and artist/writers Charles Gaines and Vincent Johnson. The essays contextualize the photographs and try to address the absence of writing about Watts that does not deal with the riots of 1965. The book broadens the discourse around the photographic history of Los Angeles and creates a historic record of Watts.
