Have a look at details of this planned project by Sean Litchfield (a fine art and editorial photographer) and Zachary Violette (an architectural historian, writer and Ph.D candidate in American Studies at Boston University).
It's about the America suburb and "the way in which people's attempt at making a certain kind of landscape for themselves has ended up destroying the environment they wanted to create" because "Americans' fetish for the private automobile, and their insistence on highly-organized sites of mass consumption and technology-saturated, mass-produced homes, has removed Americans even further from the pastoral landscape the whole suburban experiment was about in the first place."
Litchfield and Violette say they need $5000 to get their project started. Contributors get some goodies. So send them a few dollars if you think this looks a worthy endeavour.
It's interesting that the FAQs section of their project page has to include questions such as:
- Do you hate the suburbs?
- Do you hate America? The only people who hate suburbs are socialists
