Doug Aitken’s recent work is a contribution of over sixty images to photographic art annual PA Magazine. Shot over a ten-year period, the viewer is located in his hazy, warm, pastel-coloured vision of a city that seems something like L.A, but is in fact a composite of many cities worldwide. Shot on the fly, rarely, if ever, set up, the pictures engulf the viewer in a compelling yet evasive narrative that draws you in and leaves you desperately searching for more. He described them as “subconscious snapshots that you see out of the window of a passing car or train; things you observe while waiting for someone”.

PA Magazine offers an artist working in photography a number of pages, unlimited by advertising, in each issue, and invites them to freely contribute their own and other artists’ works. The artist is given the opportunity to invite a fellow artist of their choice to make a contribution to the issue and to engage in a dialogue about their practice. The periodical, published once a year, are now on their second issue, which features DOUG AITKEN and the illustrator PHILIP HAYS
