內容簡介: |
American Dreaming presents a vision of America from 1990 to
1995. Spagnoli took these photographs with a small Leica camera in
the classic manner of street photography and then selected small
details from the negatives. The resulting images of gestures,
signs, faces and objects are freed from their original contexts and
reconfigured. Spagnolis subject is the build-up to the First Gulf
War, but we see these social and political events at best obliquely
as Spagnolis version of history is primarily subjective and
fragmentary. American Dreaming is the second of Spagnolis books in
a trilogy about the personal experience of history, the first being
Daguerreotypes 2006.
