The second instalment in an ongoing investigation into a national psyche, picking up where an earlier volume left off. Featuring material taken over the last two years, a signature blend of straight-up and surreal imagery is showcased, situated inside a succession of suburban, coming-of-age-film-inspired settings. From the serene to the macabre, the ordinary to the surreal, expectations of how a photo book should function are never allowed to settle, creating a disjointed and often humorous meditation on what it's like to live in a certain country today. The frames included were captured during road trips throughout the country, as well as on productions for films and television shows in which the maker served as stunt-choreographer and sometimes body double.
