Look at the U.S.A.
LOOK AT THE U.S.A. is a searingly honest portrait of post-9/11 America by Magnum photographer Peter van Agtmael. Broadly chronological, images from the front line of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are interspersed with conflicts at home, from protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline to the storming of the Capitol, and layered with van Agtmael’s personal reflections, critique and interviews with those he has encountered along the way.
Exploring race, class, nationalism, the mythology of war and America’s self-image, LOOK AT THE U.S.A. is by turns damning, surreal, moving, confronting, ironic – and always attuned to the human cost.
