The idea of America, and the American identity, has been central to
this country's cultural conversation and debate since its
inception. America -- past, present, and future -- is an ongoing
experiment in free will and liberty for all who reach its welcoming
shores, plow its fertile soil, and raise their children to achieve
that great promise of the American Dream. In The American
Experiment, photographer Brandon Ralph presents an exploration of
the patriotic symbols, the vast and varied landscape, and the
tapestry of humanity that poses the question anew: What makes an
American? The result is a finely wrought collection of moments and
Americans captured in time, separated by decades and by state
lines, by events of national significance and by the invisible
routines of day-to-day life. In Ralph's starkly beautiful and
unwaveringly sensitive images, there is a sense of timelessness
that speaks to our collective nostalgia, our unflagging optimism,
and our unending pursuit of freedom for all people.
Considered to be one of the world's greatest miniature houses, the
replica is the result of over 30 years of research and construction
by the Zweifel family. The tiny, working telephones, hand-carved
chairs and tables, and miniature carpets that reproduce the
original stitch by stitch, are all proof of great craftsmanship and
minute attention to detail.
