Mark Mann

Career

The resulting pictures create an uneasy tension between truth and fiction. They cite artifacts from the time, such as roadside motels and vacation destinations that refer to memories of family journeys. The journeys are mixed with dreamlike symbolism to create ironic images that go beyond memory.

They are dramas staged to communicate the loneliness and alienation that accompanies the American dream.
