Starting on September 4, 2017, the anniversary of the founding of the city of Los Angeles, artist Paul Pescador began filming within the lower unrenovated levels of The Main Museum to produce a video work about the history of Los Angeles. Using studio materials to reconstruct elements of the history of the city to present using The Main’s construction site as a backdrop. As the project has grown Pescador expanded his research conducting audio conversations with local residents as well as historian and scholars and asking them to recount lesser recognized moments, both historical and personal. The resulting film is set of episodic stories and experiences of Los Angeles as Pescador postulates and attempts to document the city’s vast and expansive history in the period of a single film. The film will loop from 1pm to 7pm with start times at 1pm, 3pm, and 5pm. Visitors are welcome to come and go throughout the duration of the film.
