The Tower Bridge amalgam is the most successful of a series of photos I have shot recently that attempt to disconcert the viewer and to question uninterrogated convictions about reality. Our old certainties are being eroded in the face of climate change, destructive populisms with associated reality-averse propaganda, and now Gaia’s revenge, Covid19.
Driving across the United States is a life-changing experience, especially for us Europeans. There’s no grand story to these photographs. They were not fueled by a specific plan, but rather simple curiosity and an inclination towards specific types of objects and locations. The images are therefore not supposed to deliver an explicit message; they just happen to have been all captured during one awesome vacation.
For my 16th time being there, it never gets old. From meeting veterans, watching reenactments, and seeing warbirds take to the skies, it’s always the highlight of my summer. I just wish I had taken more film last year, but then again, June isn’t too far away now.
