In
the mid 1980s photographer and writer Scot Sothern embedded himself in
the dark inner-city hallows of Los Angeles and took photographs and
wrote about what he saw. He shone a light upon the discarded people
whose daily existence consisted of glass pipes and slaps across the
face, men and women who never had a chance in this world. In 2011, 25
years after beginning the project, this documentation led to his first
solo show, Lowlife, at the notorious Drkrm Gallery in Los Angeles.
Previously dormant, undiscovered, and rejected by a plethora of editors
and curators, this show brought much attention to Sothern and lead to
two books: one of photographs called Lowlife and a memoir called Curb
Service. Sothern’s work has since become an Internet live wire eliciting
either accolades or condemnation from anyone who comes across it. - See
