Relics is a series of lifeguard towers that populate the beaches of Southern California’s Pacific coast, by LA-based photographer and artist Amir Zaki, who is careful to categorize the work as portraiture rather than typology, casting it in an interpretative rather than documentary light.

The series was exhibited at James Harris Gallery in Seattle and at Perry Rubenstein Gallery in New York.

The photographer’s work is currently shown at Eleven Minus One in Los Angeles, till August 15th 2010.
