In the 1950s, Robert Frank embarked across the United States as an “outsider” with a camera – mirroring back at us the state of our cultural landscape at the time.
Roughly 70 years on, American Dream seeks to provide contemporary commentary, broaching a similar line of questioning, but from the perspective of an “insider”.
The question is often posited , “What does it mean to be American?”, instead this project asks, “What does it mean to be human in America?” and will strive to answer that question by depicting our shared humanity in a time of cultural flux and national identity crisis.
