AMERICAN: by Robin de Puy

Uittreksel

"Photographer and filmmaker Robin de Puy looks for 'The American'. AMERICAN is a collection of audio, film, photographic portraits and texts by photographer and filmmaker Robin de Puy. [...] De Puy invites us to look closer at, and listen to, the stories of a cross-section of people who make up one of the world’s most powerful, extreme and divisive countries, at a politically turbulent and poignant time. What are the thoughts, concerns and dreams of the largely unheard people of America? Through images and words, this publication captures moments of resilience, vulnerability, humor and heartbreak. Whether it’s the magic shop owner in Michigan still chasing miracles, a young biologist-in-the-making who believes in 'killer' cats,” or a Sikh family forging their American Dream in Muscoda, Wisconsin, each encounter sheds light on universal human experiences in extraordinary personal contexts"-- Provided by publisher.
