“Mark Steinmetz completes his powerful and moving trilogy, ‘South’, with ‘Greater Atlanta’. Photographing in Atlanta and its outlying regions, Steinmetz provides his testimony on contemporary American civilization. Combining portraits and landscapes, he weaves a symbolic and lyrical investigation that subtly questions notions of progress. He further develops motifs - on the automobile, on the telephone - that were first introduced in ‘South Central’, and catalogues car culture, fast food, convenience stores, and suburban sprawl. Beautifully printed in duotone on matt art paper, ‘Greater Atlanta’ is printed in a first edition of 1,000 casebound copies.” Greater Atlanta [Amazon]
