Livre Épuisé. Exemplaire état neuf.
Après le 11 septembre 2001, Amit Desai a pris la route en Amérique avec un appareil photo et un sac de films. Il a passé les dix années suivantes à photographier ce qu’il considérait comme le rêve américain. Il dormait sur les planchers, les canapés et sur le sol en tant qu’invité de toutes les personnes qu’il a rencontrées le long du chemin.
Amit a voyagé dans les 50 États à plusieurs reprises. Il a tenu des journaux, écrit des histoires et des chansons, et a pris des photos. Le résultat est America Sutra, un portrait du rêve américain réalisé sur la route entre les années 2001-2012.

After Sept. 11, 2001, Amit Desai hit the road in America with a camera and a bag of film. He spent the next ten years photographing what he saw as the American dream. He slept on floors, couches and on the ground as a guest of all the people he met along the way. Amit traveled back and forth across the 50 states many times over. He kept diaries, wrote stories and songs, and took pictures. The result is America Sutra, a portrait of the American dream made on the road between the years of 2001-2012.
