An American Road Trip

2016 · 36 frames

Montréal to New Orleans and back in 2016: over 7,000 km through 17 states and 2 provinces, photographed without pretension or judgment.

In 2016 I set out on a life-defining trip from the shores of the St. Lawrence River to those of the Atlantic Ocean, by way of the Gulf of Mexico: Montréal to New Orleans and back, over 7,000 km through 17 states and 2 Canadian provinces.

A distillation of that adventure without pretension or judgment, this body of work aims to be a naturalist but not emotionless look at the vast diversity of America and its regional particularities.

Published as a book in 2016, and exhibited at Université de Sherbrooke in 2018 for Anthropocène.
