Fifty years after Robert Frank’s The Americans, the German photographer
André Lützen sets off on his own odyssey through everyday life in
America. His road trip takes us from Colorado to Mississippi. The series
radiates Lützen’s own singular style: documentary photography that
derives its vitality from atmosphere and movement while also evoking
aspects of self-imposed solitude. The mood here is a strange mix of
poetic tranquility and aimless restlessness. Focusing on commonplace
things, these images unflinchingly expose the depths and shallows of
the American dream.
