About
The road movie ‘Easy Rider’, Yellowstone National Park, Route 66, Stephen Shore’s ‘Uncommon Places’ or David Lynch’s ‘Twin Peaks’; these random names and places immediately fire the imagination. Objects in Mirror shows just how deeply the American landscape has penetrated our daily lives: in films, adverts, books and music. Fact and fiction merge in a landscape that lends itself to being viewed through a frame, be it a car window or a television screen. Contributions by Rixt Bosma, André Waardenburg, Caroline von Courten, Hans Gremmen, Venturi Scott Brown and associates, Harmen Liemburg, Raymond Frenken and Helmut Smits.
