The Future

Mark Holley documented Black Lives Matter demonstrations in Hollywood, West Hollywood, and downtown Los Angeles. He participated, he photographed. The protests seem to be of this exact moment, precipitated by known events, specific deaths, current injustices. Their aim, however, is change, and change reaches into the future. But traveling into the future is complex. Holley’s photographic website opens with an epigraph by David Bowie: “The truth is, of course, that there is no journey. We are arriving and departing all at the same time.”
