It came out of a year of walking Los Angeles without a car and that particular experience of always being in transit shaped how Kristopher Shi perceived the city and what became legible in it. Shi ended up photographing nearly every street address sign along Wilshire Boulevard, installed those images in a vacant apartment in Liaoyang, China, and wrote an essay about the whole thing. The book interleaves all three parts without explanation.
