About me:
What is America? It is a challenge to singularly define America because the country reinvents itself on a daily basis. I decided to investigate what people really thought about America. From 1995 to 2000 I traveled via train across the United States photographing and interviewing people with the American flag. The culmination of my journey was the book Flag: An American Story (2001).
During the summer of 2007 I decided to explore Europe with the American flag and investigate how the international community views the United States in the 21st Century. With the American flag, I traveled throughout eight countries via the rail, bus and ferry. The result of my journey is Flag International, a multi media series which incorporates photography, video, audio and handwritten text.
Each of the subjects were approached on the street and handed a sketchbook to write their views of America, afterwards they were given the American flag and proceeded to pose whichever way they felt comfortable. Later they read their comments in their native language for audio recording. The entire process was captured on HD video.
The intention of the Flag International series is to inspire a dialogue about cultural understanding within a global framework. Cultural understanding is not only how a people or a nation views itself, but also how the world views you.
