Homeland, South
It is difficult to avoid the obvious in the places that you know very well.
Old city centre, small towns and villages developed a kind of vernacular architecture with a gentle equilibrium between shapes and colors, often absent in new buildings.
Greenland
In the woods or in open country I find the real myself.
TransAmerica, driving around
Living and traveling in the USA made me encounter many kind of landscapes, as well as different human habitat : permanent residences of just holiday refuge, in small settlements or in little town or cities.
TransAmerica: Interstate 80, from Salt Lake City to Wendover.
The great salted lake was for me a kind of dream landscape, thinking of Desert Cantos of Richard Misrach and of Jean Baudrillard observations in "America" . In 2017 I had the chance of going to Denver and took a week for myself for a on the road solo trip from Salt Lake city to Wendover. The landscape was more beautiful than in my dreams but Wendover was a strange surprise: I already knew of Bonneville racing field, but I discovered there the newly built casinos and the old militar airport home, during the second World war, of the B-29 bomber, including the two that dropped the atomic bombs over Japan. The airport and the military camp are now dismissed and there is a small museum "celebrating" Enola Gay and the military base. The town is growing with trailer parks mainly for Latinos workers and small houses for more wealthy residents.
City
Somewhere in USA. Certain aspects of American cities do not belong to a specific places.
