Eric Davidove will be one of the finalists in the Contagious Culture V4 Exhibition and Book. The focus is on the different facets of ever-evolving countercultures considered “underground” in post-pandemic Los Angeles. The show aims to highlight photography for photography's sake through the display of up-and-coming photographers and professionals alike. The prevailing ethic behind Contagious Culture is a rejection of the endless feedback loop of content on social media and to rather celebrate a mode of life that is opposed to the status quo.
The Exhibition opens on April 27th at the Superchief Los Angeles Gallery and will run for one month.
