His road trip takes us from Colorado to Mississippi. The series radiates Ltzen's own singular style: documentary photography that derives its vitality from atmosphere and movement while also evoking aspects of self-imposed solitude. The mood here is a strange mix of poetic tranquility and aimless restlessness. Focusing on commonplace things, these images unflinchingly expose the depths and shallows of the American dream. Andr Ltzen's work has received several awards and has been shown at numerous international festivals. |
