Following in the photographic lineage of Robert Frank, Stephen
Shore, and Joel Sternfeld, Justine Kurland’s work examines the
story of America—and the idea of the American dream juxtaposed
against the reality. Her deep interest in the road, the western
frontier, escape, and ways of living outside mainstream values
pervade this stunning and important body of work. Since 2004,
Kurland and her young son, Casper, have traveled in their
customized van, going south in the winter and north in the summer,
her life as an artist and mother finely balanced between the need
for routine and the desire for freedom and surprise. Casper’s
interest —particularly in trains, and later in cars—and those
he befriends along the way often determine Kurland’s subject
matter. He appears at different ages in the work, against open
vistas and among the subcultures of train-hoppers and drifters
around them. Kurland’s vision is in equal parts raw and romantic,
idyllic and dystopian. From highly symbolic pictures of trains
moving across epic landscapes to allegorical depictions of
mechanics and muscle cars, this book features the full scope of her
road work—from her series This Train is Bound for Glory, to her
most recent, Sincere Auto Care.
