12 steps to success for Artists in Los Angeles
2005
Video Installation

“12 Steps” is part of the Hollywood culture; there are 12 steps to quit drinking, 12 steps to stop depression, and 12 steps to save your marriage. The “12 steps” progress is seen everywhere and can almost be used on anything. It has become a trend in a very ironic way. After I have talked to many artists in Los Angeles, I’ve found most of them seem very successful, but only on paper. They are still struggling and trying to survive. Meanwhile they do not get the appreciation they deserved in the society. So what went wrong?
