A sequence capturing the shifting social landscapes of america by American photographer John Sanderson. Sanderson’s work traces themes of impermanence and growth that talk to the tensions created by the shifting priorities and distractions of our trendy world. For Sanderson, the hole between the post-industrial age and our more and more technological one imbues these images with a sure melancholia—figures and areas on the verge of irrelevance. And but, there’s hope and appeal too:
“The commonplace has turn into all too widespread, a veritable train within the predictable: strip malls, franchised eating places, banks, and a fuel station on each nook of a 4 method intersection. It will be false to say I don’t depend on these conveniences, however I’m nonetheless making an attempt to determine why I don’t image them. In looking for examples of our nationwide identification, I typically exit main byways and as an alternative journey intimate two lane roads in looking for that non secular topography so indicative of postclectic American Locations.”
