synopsis
This book is a somewhat hallucinatory journey through an undressed America, stripped of its trappings.
A minimalist and singular vision of a desolate decor, objects and actors, in every sense of the word. It’s a Japanese-style journey and a nod to the history of American urban landscape photography.
The theme of travel is a pretext to bring up other subjects that affect us all: the route we take, the time it takes us to understand certain things... It is also a still journey. An inner journey.

about Philippe Blayo
Born and living near Paris, his roots are in this peripheral France that he likes to stage.
Psychologist and photographer, his interest in Man and his environment logically leads him towards urban landscape photography and street photography. For several years, his work has focused on the creation of series and photographic projects in France or internationally.
His work has been exhibited in galleries in Paris (Galerie Rastoll, Leica Store, Galerie des photographes with Jean-Christophe Béchet and Christophe Jacrot…), Nîmes (Galerie Le lac gelé), Arles (Galerie Ephémère with Cédric Roux) and at various French and American festivals (l'OEil Urbain, Miami Street Photography Festival, Street Photo San Francisco).
Author of the books “American Decorum” (Ed. Trans Photographic Press) and “Street photography by example” (Ed. KnowWare), he was a festival sponsor (Saint Pathus) and regularly speaks at conferences and workshops on request.
