{"product_id":"paul-grund-damaged","title":"Paul Grund - Damaged","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIn Damaged, Paul Grund turns his lens toward Los Angeles, not as the dream factory or cinematic backdrop, but as a city already destroyed. Echoing photographer Lewis Baltz's bleak observation that Los Angeles \"has already been destroyed, then left standing as a warning,\" the work resists the smooth mythology that usually defines it. Grund's camera moves through a fractured landscape of walls, overpasses, and indifferent geometry, exposing a city built out of disconnection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eShot almost entirely from inside a moving car, the photographs were born of motion and constraint. There's no time to compose or wait; the images are captured by instinct, like the quick calculations of a skater reading the urban surface. The result is a sequence of moments that oscillate between recognition and accident, a rhythm of vision that mirrors the way we move through cities we don't fully belong to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eGrund's Los Angeles is not one of spectacle or ruin, but of exhaustion. The city appears as a collection of self-contained zones, sun-bleached facades, tangled wires, fences, and concrete boundaries that seem to both protect and exclude. Faces rarely meet the camera; when they do, they carry the fatigue of those who remain invisible in a city designed to be watched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCover: Softcover\u003cbr\u003e272 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e2025\u003cbr\u003eEdited by Paul Grund et Pierre Hourquet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54034597511511,"sku":null,"price":51.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/files\/1_dcb46014-acaf-4a09-8ec7-bc52dceef44c.png?v=1784133504","url":"https:\/\/ensemble.biz\/products\/paul-grund-damaged","provider":"Ensemble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
