Point of Origin

In 1898, the Globe Grain and Milling Co. constructed a complex of industrial buildings and a flour processing plant at 907 E. 3rd St. in Downtown Los Angeles, processing wheat from the Central Valley and transporting it by rail to the Port of Los Angeles. 40 years later, it was purchased by the Pillsbury Company, which operated the milling facility until the mid-60s. This is now the site of Hauser & Wirth, an international gallery known for restoring and modernizing historic sites around the world.

The artist combined original photographs of Downtown Los Angeles, as it looks today, with what was the equivalent of an electrical board used to run the milling facility.
