In these large-scale photographic works, (Zoe) Crosher explores and photographs sites of disappearance, in “real” spaces where “actual” (and some fictional) people––Hollywood legend Natalie Wood, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson, a character from Raymond Chandler’s noir classic The Long Goodbye––have disappeared, swept away in the Pacific Ocean. Researched, mapped, scouted and shot by Crosher along the Southern California coastline, each at the approximate time of its subject’s vanishing, the locations are sites forever-embedded in collective cultural memory through literature, Hollywood films, and dissemination by the press.
