LA based artist, filmmaker, and actor, Lío Mehiel is proud to present a new photo work from their series angels of a drowning world at GUTS Gallery in London as part of their SAINTS & SINNERS group show running June 9th, 2023 – July 7th, 2023.

 

For angels of a drowning world, Lío invited photographer Wynne Neilly to join them in Bombay Beach, California: a partially abandoned desert town on the shores of a man-made, toxic lake called the Salton Sea. The two entered the lake, Wynne with protective gear and Lío without, and together they created a series of images that explore the relationship between the fight for body autonomy and the fight against climate collapse under capitalism.
