On a stay in Los Angeles from Copenhagen, Søborg-born Danish entrepreneur and artist TONNY SØRENSEN recalls his 32-year-long stay in Los Angeles, initiated by his 1991 World Championship title in taekwondo, his acting aspirations, to leading the clothing brand Von Dutch Originals to international heights. He discusses communities he created outside of LA, including one based on Freetown Christiania, leaving LA, success and failure, and his current focus on his photography.
Tonny selects a work by André Derain from the SMK collection.
