A seven-volume study in text and image of the changing American body and soul, the first exhibition of America Sutra is a website that is curated by a computer algorithm and is unique to each visit. This show is accompanied by a feature length documentary Possible Psalms, a behind the scenes look at the making of America Sutra. The images in America Sutra portray the people and landscapes the artist experienced during his many years on the road. Shot on 35mm, 120 medium format, Polaroid and digital, along with hand made collages and drawings, the seven volumes display a wide range of photographic techniques. All the double exposure photographs were made in camera and all the work was shot on film except for Book IV, which is the only digital work in the sutra... America Sutra is a 21st century sutra made up of image and text. In a tradition that goes back to Walt Whitman and the early American transcendentalists, it combines both Eastern and Western thought and influences into an original system of aesthetics." --America Sutra website.
