Zoe Crosher’s recent series, LA-Like (2004-05)
  “concentrates her lens on the decidedly photogenic 
  Los Angeles subjects”. Shooting into the sun and 
  ‘burning’ the prints black in post-production, she 
  is interested in merging the poetics with the medium.   
  As Julian Myers writes, “Crosher’s method works 
  through the difficulty of taking pictures of Los Angeles, 
  and what she understands as its resistance to being 
  pictured.” This obsession began with photographing 
  the planes coming into land from each and every 
  motel over the forgotten strip of Century Boulevard 
  surrounding LAX. Out the Window (LAX) (2001-2004) 
  questions how  to approach “a place that moves in 
  shifts and perpetual motion, with no real center, 
  no point of concentration?” 

  Her work has been shown internationally in Vancouver, 
  Rotterdam, Los Angeles and New York City. She 
  completed her MFA at the California Institute of the 
  Arts in the Photography and Integrated Media Programs 
  in 2001. She recently edited NTNTNT (2004), a book 
  on net.art, and is anticipating the release of Out the 
  Window (LAX) in winter 2006, including texts by Pico Iyer, 
  Norman Klein and Julian Myers.  She is the U.S. Project 
  Manager for Afterall, A Journal of Art Context & Inquiry 
  and is for the moment settled in Los Angeles.

  The recent inclusion of fragments from the ‘Michelle du Bois’        
  archive (2004-), a collaboration with New York artist 
  Leslie Grant, furthers her more recent interests in the 
  tensions between the amateur and the professional,  
  the casual snapshot (ruins), the larger-than-life persona 
  and culturally-weighted sexuality.
