Snapshots of American Society in contradiction to the pastoral country

Snapshots of American Society in contradiction to the "pastoral country" I have travelled this country, which always seems melancholic to me, intensively for several years. I tried to unterstand why this country makes me so meancholy. So I drove through seemingly endless landscapes, met friendly people and found loud but also ver< quiet cities. Nevertheless, it was difficult for me to approach and I began to photograph America as a non-American from a kind of outsider`s perspektive. I searched for and I found the "pastoral country" that America is often known for, discovered my great interest in the (social) landscape, and at the same time bumped into hyperconsuming that deterred me. Everythingh seemed to me like a dream, and everywhere I was struck by this all-encompassing sadness. Maybe it`s a sadness that only reached me, that does not exist there, maybe I am wrong in everything I associate with America. And so the style of my Photos is consciously almost dreamlike, melancholic and subtile. This is America as I`ve seen it - how I felt and experienced it.
