Giorgio Fochesato offers a beautiful photographic look at America in this set from his portfolio. The Berlin-based photographer looks at America with the critical eye of an outsider, and the creative eye of a photographer, giving us a look at the iconic American road – Route 66






Giorgio, I’m going to link to you from my site. This is a great project. We are an online magazine of art and culture for the West (Rocky Mountain West of US). and perhaps you might want to consider publishing a project room on the site, which we’re going to be launching in the coming month?

Ps where’d you find the dead airstream still looking so photogenic?
thanks
Ellen
“the critical eye of an outsider” is, going by these pictures, little more than an outsider’s glossy-eyed notion of what the American west should be, rather than is or was.
I hope this is an ongoing project and that you will focus more on the people and places that make the West such an interesting place to _live_ in, rather than perpetuating the fantastical idea of the American west as a place of ghost towns, abandoned gas stations, tex-mex-americana, and tumbleweeds. It is only this place to those who refuse to understand it as a living, breathing space.
