Book Signing with Photographer Jerry Hsu

Arcana: Books on the Arts 8675 Washington Blvd., Culver City, CA

With a history encompassing professional skateboarding and his apparel brand Sci Fi-Fantasy, Jerry Hsu's photography practice is one of deep observation, humor, and everyday pathos. His new book Lonley City (Friend Editions, 2023) is filled with iPhone photos taken while going about his life in the world - yet he seems to come across (or be more attuned to noticing) small moments that almost read as very short stories on the human condition.
