As a child growing up in Malaysia, Shing Yin Khor had two very
different ideas of what "America" meant. The first looked a lot
like Hollywood, full of beautiful people and sunlight and freeways.
The second looked more like The Grapes of Wrath - a nightmare
landscape filled with impoverished people, broken-down cars, barren
landscapes, and broken dreams. Those contrasting ideas have stuck
with Shing ever since, even now that she lives and works in LA. The
American Dream? A Journey on Route 66 is Shing's attempt to find
what she can of both of these Americas on a solo journey (small
adventure-dog included) across the entire expanse of that iconic
road, beginning in Santa Monica and ending up Chicago. And what
begins as a road trip ends up as something more like a pilgrimage
in search of an American landscape that seems forever shifting,
forever out of place.
