He shares his realistic views of LA and of the need to have ambition to survive in the creative space, and how after eight years away from home, he embraces reconnecting with his Danish roots.Lasse selects a work by Vilhelm Hammershøi from the SMK collection.https://open.smk.dk/en/artwork/image/KMS3696(Photograph: Christian D.
