White fashions his characters, blandly recognizable from television or other pre-formed notions of Los Angeles, as blank figures who come alive only in constructed “theme” environments. By creating an overall narrative and introducing monsters straight out of special effects cinema, a further degree of artificiality is introduced into a world which already reads as fake, thus allowing these characters and places to be scrutinized in a state of suspended animation. Each photo is titled after a subdivision of LA’s vast and varied yet familiar terrain, and each is held to a 2:1 aspect ratio, suggesting the composition of both landscape and movie screen.
Los Angeles is known as the non-city, an anti-polis shaped by money, greed and social fear. White investigates the resulting environment, creating characters who are deeply and permanently bound to their surroundings, at once alienated from and dependent upon the overbuilt world around them. When Hollywood monsters (already somehow incipient to this city of movie magic, plastic surgery, and profound social inequity) come out of the woodwork, the landscapes and interiors of Los Angeles become only more set-like and useless for shelter.

Forgive me if this has already been posted.
According to the website I found this photo on, the submitter said that the creature was discovered amongst the marine life washed up by the December 2005[sic] Tsumani.
have examined the picture in Photoshop and I cannot see any evidence of editing.
Its all very nice saying its a fake, but what are you looking at?
Using a humanoid puppet he calls "complete fragility manifest in a body," White presents human frailty through a fictional character, much as a novelist might.

I don't have a problem seeing any other pics on ATS or anywhere else, why would I not be able to see this one?
Doesn't even have the standard little white box with a red cross if I was missing software.
