HVW8 GALLERY PRESENTS
KARL HAB: 24H LOS ANGELES 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
WITH SUPPORT FROM ADIDAS ORIGINALS
HVW8 Gallery presents 24H Los Angeles 10 Year Anniversary, a special exhibition and book release by Karl Hab, marking ten years since the original project that captured Los Angeles across a full 24 hour cycle.
Originally published in 2016, 24H Los Angeles became a defining visual study of the city, tracing its rhythm from sunrise to night. Built around a continuous 24 hour structure, each photograph is timestamped and geolocated, creating a real-time portrait of Los Angeles through light, movement, and atmosphere.
Ten years later, Karl Hab returns with a new edition featuring previously unseen images and new perspectives gathered over a decade of shooting the city from street level to the sky. The work moves from early morning arrivals at LAX through the shifting geometry of downtown, into golden hour across the hills, and late night along the coast.
This anniversary edition also includes contributions from key voices across the Los Angeles creative community, including Alex Israel, Dr Woo, Shaniqwa Jarvis, Chris Gibbs, Kirsty Godso, and Fred North, expanding the project into a broader reflection on the city and its culture.
At HVW8 Gallery, the exhibition translates the 24 hour structure into an immersive environment, bringing together photography, installation, and sound to mirror the energy and pace of Los Angeles.
