Press Release

The True Story of Edges: Sunset Boulevard by artist Jessica Wimbley features a video collage of visual imagery within the artist's afro and braided hair. Edges, a play on the African American vernacular for the fine hairs along the hairline, uses hair as a mutable space of memory and storytelling. Videos from sources like the Prelinger Archive that address the history of Sunset Boulevard are mixed with contemporary found and created imagery, nature, and space. Connecting historic content created by people who have lived or visited the area, Sunset Boulevard directly reflects the history of the folks in the community fostering a discussion that includes elements of intersectionality and inclusion, cultural history and memory. The video is a new iteration of her Edges series designed specifically to address the vertical dimensions of the billboard. The artwork can be seen at the top and at :30 minutes past the hour on the digital billboard at 8775 Sunset Boulevard (Sunset Spectacular).
