"Man, you don't tell someone you're a bad driver," a guy wearing gold chains and enough product in his hair to re-spark the Great Chicago Fire once advised me. So, let's say that if I ended up in a fender-bender on the eastbound side of the 10 in LA, it'd be because of Ruben Ochoa -- not because of how jumpy I tend to get when someone cuts ahead of me on the highway without signaling. A couple of years ago, Ochoa affixed large landscape photographs to a concrete wall that bordered the 10 for a project entitled "Extracted"; he created the illusion that pieces of the wall had been removed, revealing the hills behind it. But his intent wasn't to deceive, but simply to inspire.
