Come celebrate the opening night of Desert Dreams; a photographic exhibition by Holly Riding, capturing the Americana spirit of rural USA.
The exhibition will consist of a number of A2 sized photo prints accompanied by an exclusive ‘Desert Dreams’ hardcover zine.
The Desert Dreams zine will combine some of the exhibition series with other exclusive photographs from the trip. It will however only be available only on the opening night as copies are limited.
The photographs were taken exactly a year ago, over several months, whilst road tripping across the United States. The whole series has been shot on 35mm film and remains unedited.
This project emerged as a way to capture America’s natural monuments,as during my travels I became aware of the lack of knowledge and warped perceptions most people have in regards rural America. Most appreciations of the US tend to focus on the urban culture alone, where the beauty of the vast and varied landscape and it’s accompanying subcultures are often ignored or perceived through cliches. This photo series attempts to capture the raw aesthetic of the American landscape, the beauty in simplicity that is so easily overlooked.
Opening Night: 15th May, 6:00 – 10:00pm
