Peter Baker photographs urban space and its consequences. A travelogue and a study of social relations, the pictures of the ‘Current Treatment’ series taken in and of Los Angeles are about sites and people, and their collisions. Born in New York and now living in Los Angeles, Baker is engaged with the contemporary city as a space that is both shared and segregated, communal and private. A photographer of the spatial turn, he records urban sites and the built environment as social spaces and barely inhabited stages of life.
