Summary/Abstract: In Los Angeles, the space of constant travel, the dubious refuge for tired nomads are hotel rooms, unfurnished houses, and shopping centers. The city’s territory is defined by a labyrinth of roads, railroads, and runways. They allow to escape from the metropolis but they often lead back to the abandoned spaces. A study of representation of the postmodern city is an element of the analysis of the world of endless wandering which characterizes the dynamic ecosystem of the present day.
