AMERICAN PUZZLE (Special Edition) - Jean-Christophe Béchet

450,00 €
Out of print

Put together in no time at all, this book of 175 photographs is the result of 17 trips to the United States between 1996 and 2011. Neither a reporter nor a photojournalist, Jean-Christophe Béchet has adopted the perspective of a visitor, a walker, someone who traverses spaces and follows his own path, comparing it with his memories and knowledge. By blending various photographic styles, he immerses us in a country where a sense of unease is palpable; color photographs.

“I had no choice; I embraced my influences. I ‘stumbled upon’ Eggleston’s tricycle, Winogrand’s women, Frank’s flags, Stephen Shore’s street corners, Friedlander’s intersections, Evans’ facades… So many objective coincidences that I took pleasure in reinterpreting. The theme is there. All that remained was to vary the tone and tempo .”
