Sons of the Living — Bryan Schutmaat (Trespasser, 2024)

 

Bryan Schutmaat's brilliant and moving photographs in his latest book, Sons of the Living, are nothing less than stunning! – EA

Sons of the Living is a photobook about the land and people along the highways of America’s deserts. Photographed over the course of a decade in the American West’s arid and sweeping terrain, this work depicts a human capacity for endurance. Schutmaat offers an updated view of the “open road” that addresses a new era of uncertainty and anxiety. Amidst a backdrop of environmental decline, economic dispossession, and societal neglect, Sons of the Living draws attention to trouble on the road ahead and searches for our hope to withstand it. Published by Trespasser, 2024.
