American Geography – Matt Black

Beschrijving

Between 2014 and 2020, photographer Matt Black traveled from his hometown in California’s Central Valley to hundreds of other communities of high poverty across the United States. Concentrating on cities, towns, and counties with poverty rates above 20%, he discovered that he could travel from coast to coast without ever crossing above the poverty line. Traveling across 46 states and Puerto Rico, Black visited thousands of high-poverty areas that, while woven through the fabric of the country, are excluded from “the land of opportunity.”
