Following this road trip, Arno Brignon selected 60 colour and B&W photographs taken with out-of-date film, to create this exhibition.
A symbolic road trip about a post-democratic society, at a time when populism and technocracy seem to be at odds throughout the West. By observing this country, born of European settlers who drove out the natives, we are also observing ourselves, so strong are our ties, and so united are our states, for better or for worse. There is inevitably a touch of Robert Frank, Jack London and Wim Wenders in this journey, but beyond the initiatory, there is a desire to tell this country's story through the prism of reminiscences from my personal story, in which the question of absence lingers.
