The pictures of Reynaldo Rivera speak of a vanished period, that of the underground scenes of 1990s Los Angeles, between documentary and intimate practice. Made in the 1980s and 1990s, they record a Los Angeles that has gone: cheap rents, parties, subversive fashion, underground bands, and the gay and drag bars long since closed — Mugi's, The Silverlake Lounge and La Plaza among them — together with the friends, performers and neighbours who filled them.
