SPINA AMERICANA: a photoDOC
Salon member Jose Muniain presents his new photoDOC in collaboration with photographer Richard Sharum, a documentation of the Central U.S. in a narrow corridor from the Mexican to the Canadian borders.
From the photographer:
Spina Americana (American Spine) attempts to understand a critical and often misunderstood section of the U.S.: A central spine of land, including the millions of diverse people who reside, work, live, and die in this corridor between Mexico and Canada.
Commonly derided as "flyover country", it is rife with a complex history going back before our founding and continues to have vast implications on our food and natural resource output as a nation.
I have carved out a 100-mile-wide path of land, 50 miles east/west of the geographic center (near Lebanon, Kansas). It runs vertically from Mexico to Canada, traversing the “spine” of the United States, as it has not been examined before
