Description: A project created over a six year period, 'Pursuit' is the disenchanted chronicle of an idealized America. Being a keen admirer of American literature, cinema and painting, I created my own fancied-America, a not-so-imaginary place filled with fictional heroes. The purpose of this work is to juxtapose a mental construction to the reality of the American everyday life and to picture the 'American experience' as a metaphor for a bigger experience. Simultaneously published in a French editon.
