Nick Meeks' aesthetic is a key to unlocking the collective psyche, which is a space where meanings that might have never been there in the first place are created. The book gathers 39 hazy and hyperreal images of landscapes across the United States, with only a few exceptions in France and Japan. Printed in spreads allowing the reader to immerse themselves in the gaze of the photographer, the photographs become landscape in itself, tearing the surface of what we believe the places ought to be and delving into the space for re-imagining. The tension that arises is the dialectic between past and present, proximity and distance, real and unreal, a constant sway, like a murmur, latent, under the surface that is inherently bittersweet.
