The images show abandoned sets which attempt to represent other cultures. Is it possible to import specific elements of a culture and to give the impression that one is really somewhere else? Or does such a setting become something else, a kind of utopian vision which is in fact no longer really at home anywhere?

These leporello focusses on references found in relation to the US. Together with Julie Peeters I published the first leporello with 12 photographs like a touristic folding booklet.

Concept: Marjolijn Dijkman
Leporello: edition of 600 designed by Julie Peeters
Produced for: Songlines at Stadsvisioenen, Mechelen, BE
Organised by: Firefly, Brussels
