Text by Evan Allan
A fragmented travelogue created during a month-long road trip across the United States. Photographs of roadside relics and found language reveal an American landscape of contradiction, equal parts humour and sorrow, accompanied by contextless snippets of thought, memory and conversation in original text. Together they describe a countryside full of mysterious symbols and double meanings. Primarily a meditation on travel photography, with themes of memory, home and the ambiguity of language slipping between the pages.
