LA WEEKLY art pick: TOVA MOZARD

Sometimes it takes the perspective of a visitor to see even an iconic city’s sights in a fresh new way. For Swedish photographer Tova Mozard, the dynamic collision between the Hollywood dream factory and the grittier reality of life in the town of Hollywood have yielded a portfolio of emotionally rich, empathetic images of the failures and fringes of the legend. “Psychic storefronts after dark, empty stages, off-duty street performers,” and all manner of faded glamorous animate her vision. Online June 25 through August 15; ladiesroomla.org.
