American
Peregrinations
(2004)
DESCRIPTION
Three months of exploration, wandering, discoveries. From September 11 to
December 12, 2004, I scoured the American
territory upon a journey that led me through roads scattered in 29 different states, for
a total of some 17 400 miles (28 000 km).
The places I went to - some according to
plans, others fortuitously - took the shape
of major cities, small and remote
settlements, natural sites, engineering
works and structures, notorious architectural
achievements or land art pieces. My traveling also revealed to me everything located
in between those points of interest:
minor roads, farmlands, deserts.
