French Artist Vincent Lamouroux has transformed the dilapidated Sunset Pacific Motel – aka the Bates Motel – into a conceptual art work described as a “temporal intervention into an iconic piece of LA’s architectural history and urban lore.” The installation, entitled Projection will last only two weeks. Even the adjacent palm trees and a billboard are being painted a coat of white limewash. The arts used a similar concept in a Paris park where a large group of trees were painted snow white. The installation is located at 4301 West Sunset Boulevard In the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
