WINNERS

American Scrapbook

  • Photographer
    Kim Llerena, United States
  • Prize
    Silver Winner in Life Style/Other

Depicted in this project are fragments of the American experience. Viewed together, relationships between disparate sites and structures emerge, highlighting various systems that direct our collective national consciousness: history, territory, business, religion, politics, and more. The photographs – of walls, gaps, signs, memorials, artifacts – construct a shared language from the physical material of these systems, one that both reflects and forewarns. The indelible marks of past actions and diverse quests for an American Dream become potent symbols in our visual landscape.
