Publisher: Black Dog ISBN-10: 1901033740 Author: Andrew Cross Binding: Hardback Pages: 160 Size: 185x250 mm Andrew Cross's photographs depict the spaces of the long distance road trip – the places passed through and passed by – a landscape that is now familiar almost wherever we are. It is the vernacular landscape of a growing consumer culture – fast food outlets, shopping malls, distribution depots, truck stops – that have congregated around highway exits and intersections.
Cross brings together the inherent romanticism of the road journey with the corporate culture that now so dominates not only the enviroment of the American road-trip, but also the wider world. His photographs are a travellers glance at places that are themselves transient and impermanent, but all pervasive. From the Inside Flap
"He has a great eye for the beautifully bland, his images emphasising a sense of stillness that can be found in the most workaday enviroments. The results are quiet, dignified and beautiful."
