john gerrard: SPIRITS

Los Angeles County Museum of Art · Los Angeles
On view December 21, 2025 to December 20, 2026

SPIRITS is a year-long artwork designed to be experienced on your mobile browser. Irish artist john gerrard collected 96 plastic sandals and shoes from beaches across the world, each one carrying unknown stories of the people who wore them. By photoscanning the discarded objects into high-resolution “gaussian splats,” gerrard transforms them into sculptural forms, inviting the viewer to overlay them with oil slicks or ocean currents.
