On the Road

New York From January 5, 2024 to June 18, 2024

This series captures something uniquely American: their love affair with the road, with wandering. Growing up in France, I didn't understand the appeal of leaving without a destination in mind. In a country where every square inch has been inhabited and shaped by humans for millennia, there is no truly great open space. You are never far from anything. But when I moved to the United States, I found myself in a country with endless highways and limitless horizons. I then realized that wandering is deeply rooted in the American identity. It's a sentiment that resonates through the ages, from the nomadic tribes who were the first to cover this vast territory to the pioneers who made their way West, pursuing their dreams of a better life. Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" is more than a novel - it's a manifesto. I now understand the magnetic attraction that the road offers. Freedom and adventure are too often missing from our lives, but not when we're on the road. There’s something intoxicating about letting the journey itself be the destination. These photographs invite us to leave everyday life behind and follow the infinite possibilities that await us on the road.
