Summary:
Since the early eighties, Gerry Johansson has made quiet pictures of quiet places, often lying in the shadows of industrial decline. For ''American Winter'', Johansson travelled through semi-deserted towns in Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, finding as much beauty as there was misery in landscapes cloaked in snow: an isolated church floating in a mottled sea of white; leafless trees lining endless highways leading to nothing; long shadows cast on vernacular architecture in the season's merciless sun.

The book is a double gatefold, having three spines, which opens to a full width of roughly 40 inches. The erstwhile skateboarder brings multiple series into focus for this book, including rocks, carvings, suspended landscapes, and hyper-realist California beach architecture, which like his skateparks (also included), are uncannily quiet and devoid of people.

Anne Collongues la photographie presque vide, tel un endroit familier que les souvenirs habitent encore mais qui paraît déjà étranger. Elle capte une architecture éclectique et des espaces accidentés dont on ne saurait dire si le béton et la végétation s’y embrassent ou s’y dévorent.(...)

Summary:
Une ville qu’on peine à identifier, marquée par un ciel blanc, à une heure incertaine. Anne Collongues la photographie presque vide, tel un endroit familier que les souvenirs habitent encore mais qui paraît déjà étranger. Elle capte une architecture éclectique et des espaces accidentés dont on ne saurait dire si le béton et la végétation s’y embrassent ou s’y dévorent. Partagées entre l'objectivité d'un recensement et la subjectivité d'un état d'âme, ses photographies ne démontrent rien, chaque élément du chaos urbain participe à l’équilibre de la composition.

Summary:
This publication explores the ruins and remains of failed attempts to live in the desert’s harsh environments, depicting abandoned houses – small, often eccentric huts, both humorous and a little forlorn. Ruwedel examines the desert regions east of Los Angeles as a palimpsest of cultural and natural histories, presenting an inventory of a particular, and poignant, form of vernacular architecture; each structure might be read as a clue to the lives of anonymous individuals, and the impulse to create a home in the wilderness, however transitory.
