    About the Book

    Edit

    “Get lost” - or the right to get lost is a road trip through the iconic American outback.
    This road trip covers a journey through the Wild West, the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. The road is my guide, the path my excuse, the horizon my destination through a decor of freedom, following my desire for the unknown. The road is my magnet for endless freedom.

    Feeling detached, I leave everything behind me, heading to an immense open space and stunning natural beauty. This road trip runs through artistic sceneries confronting me with loads of images from my collective memory, previously formed by cinema, television, photography, literature, music and other media.
    Many of my great American photographic examples preceded me, Walker Evans, Robert Frank, William Eggleston, Lee
    Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Ed Rusha, Stephen Shore, Joel Sternfield, just to name a few.

    Travelling through a country in decline, I witness a “paradise lost”.
    As if driving through a tunnel to each next destination, I hop from one motel to the other. While photographing I get lost in this immense country. Whatever I capture on film, serene or ordinary, the images seem to alienate. The subtle details send the images throughout American history and contemporary degeneration.

    The historical context is loaded. From the first pioneers who tried to defy the country, the tragic fate of the Native Indian population, the slavery, the catastrophic buffalo hunting to the iconic Route 66, Americana nostalgia is everywhere.
