TITLE : URBAN SPRAWL - EMPTINESS
SERIES
AUTHOR : EMMANUEL MONZON

 

“Print Your Vision” was our latest Open Call to select a winning project and print it as a photobook.

We’re now showcasing the finalist projects on our website.

This is the series that Emmanuel Monzon has presented to the Open Call. 

“am I leaving a city or entering a new environment? I like to play/’mix’ two approaches: The codes of the new topographics and the concept of “in between-two states” inspired by the anthropologist Marc Auge under the name of non-places.

I like transitional places, like intersections or passages from one world to another, such as from a residential area to an industrial area.

I also like the tourist places altered by the human trace.

We often find this feeling of emptiness, of visual paradox by travelling throughout the United States.

The transition from one site to the next: You have arrived and at the same time you have never left.

I believe that the expansion of the urban or industrial landscape in the American natural landscape has redefined this space and has become itself a “non-place.”
