Doug Rickard - A New American Picture, White Press, 2010, Köln
Hardcover, edition of 250, numbered and signed.
"I immediately started to dive heavily into it (Google Street View). I saw right away the potential of the aesthetic in the images and the incredibly deep access that I was given (to every street in America) through it. ... The same day I was using my mobile phone and photographing the screen" (Doug Rickard in an interview with ABC Arts)
"In my series A New American Picture, the world is frozen and I’m navigating through it. This was a viscerally satisfying process for me – I experienced the same joy finding a suitable picture for the project than I would editing pictures taken in ‘real time’ on the street. I worked for three or four hours each night during months because the individual pictures had to be incredibly strong for what I wanted to do. I didn’t want this project only to be about Google, but about street photography and tradition, ultimately I wanted to ask what makes an interesting photograph. If I remove all the watermarks, for instance, it’s because I would like this project to instigate a conversation on race, socio-economics and what it means to live in America, rather than on Google."
