Larry's Hideaway looks at past, recently closed and ‘new’ SROs (Single Room Occupancy Units) and how they reflect the greater housing crisis as its vulnerable population gets pushed out of the city’s limits.
The camera here is used as a testimony and witness of an honest reality; this is visual proof that these spaces exist and existed. We often don't realize changes have happened or that something is gone when the changes happen in small increments, we notice them after they are gone, and once they are gone we cease to remember them at all.
