562.323.818.213 is a deep exploration of the streets of Los Angeles through photography. Hernandez Sanchez invites the viewer to hold a conversation with the specific communities that occupy Los Angeles. These works are described by the artist as an ofrenda to the city and the areas she grew up in. The artist seeks to remember and document the landscape we have lost and also the many ways people claim the same territory. By disrupting the images by cutting, layering, and remixing, she collaborates with the city to empower the images through perception, experience, and imagination providing an open space for conversation.
Using a mix of projections, audio, and still images Hernandez Sanchez creates an invitation to explore and immerse into the artist's neighborhoods. The viewer is invited to engage with the work by stepping in front of projections or finding ways to immerse themselves into the environment. Through these different elements the work showcases a dialogue that unfolds between the artist and the street.
