![9780393065398: Approaching Nowhere: Photographs [Slipcased Limited Edition with Autographed Print]](https://pictures.abebooks.com/isbn/9780393065398-us.jpg)
This slipcased limited edition contains an autographed print. Evocative images of buildings and places, seen from the American road.
Like many who grew up during the spread of sprawl—with its predictable landscape of housing developments, shopping malls, interstate highways, and big-box construction—acclaimed photographer Jeff Brouws is drawn to places that still embody the vernacular past as well as to those that starkly portray the soulless, franchised American landscape. What began as cultural geography of Main Streets became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered, paved-over universe. Some images look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward, documenting the devastated inner cities. All the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time. 100 color photographs. Slipcased limited edition contains an autographed print.
