Description

American-themed places in Europe and European-themed places in America are brought together in this poignant photographic essay. Naomi Harris's EUSA is a thoughtful exploration of cultural identity, authenticity, and appropriation, as she documents the often-blurred lines between reality and representation. From "Olde-World" towns in California, Wisconsin, or Iowa, where heritage is celebrated with a sense of community, to Western theme-parks in Europe, where entertainment and tourism take centre stage, Harris's photographs raise important questions about our relationship with these spaces. The images are often sentimental and idealized, yet also strikingly ambiguous, leaving the viewer to ponder the context in which they were taken. Through EUSA, Harris invites us to consider the enduring appeal of these "other-directed" places, and the complex issues surrounding cultural identity, authenticity, and appropriation that they represent.
