Los Angeles’ last wetland, a nearly 600-acre site north of Los Angeles International Airport, is called Ballona. Through photography and film the project Inside Ballona Waachnga wanders the region, exploring how humans and other creatures see their surroundings and experience the passage of time. What tools, methods, and imaginative technologies help us understand the world—and how verdant are they in revealing other ways of seeing?
In the Ballona Wetlands, freshwater from stormwater runoffs mixes with salty ocean water. These marshy areas create unique zones making it one of the most plentiful ecosystems you'll find anywhere.
