Love American Skin is a series of impressive images recounting Diana Scheunemann’s journey through America and under the skin of her adopted country. It’s the skin of a nation presented as a landscape or surface over which her and our eyes can play – curiously, lustfully, tragically and lovingly. It’s the skin of a nation and a collective history told not as a single, big narrative, but as the stories of the people Diana Scheunemann meets on her travels through the US.
Diana Scheunemann took an eight-week road trip clockwise through 21 US states accompanied by her boyfriend, who along the way became her husband. Over the course of 60 days she photographed and interviewed 60 people she met in diners, on the sidewalk, or on their front porches. With her curiosity and a candid eye, she was able to capture a series of intimate but unprejudiced images. The result is a kind of declaration of love, a multifaceted kaleidoscope of an America most people aren’t even aware of. Love American Skin is Diana Scheunemann’s first major exhibition in Switzerland.
