50 years after Robert Frank's The Americans, the German photographer Andre Lutzen sets off on his own odyssey through the US. His journey travels from Colorado to Mississippi, from desert to sub-tropical climes - but always carefully bypassing Hollywood. The series radiates with Lutzen's clear style: documentary photography that derives its vitality from atmosphere and movement whilst also communuicating a solitude. Focussing on commonplace things, the images unflinchingly expose the depths and shallows of the American dream.
