Uittreksel

Debi Cornwall: Model Citizens considers the United States as a case study into a global phenomenon: How have staging, performance, and roleplay come to inform thinking about citizenship in a violent land whose people no longer agree on what is true? The last in a trilogy of books on the American condition, Model Citizens includes photographs from US Border Patrol Academy training scenarios, "Save America" rallies, and history museums. Jarringly juxtaposed images from these apparently unrelated sites illuminate systems that reconcile, justify, or distract from the harsh realities of life in a polarized, militarized society. The design accentuates slippages: images flow across French-fold page turns, just as Cornwall's practice questions the role of documentary photography in an era of splintered realities.
