SynopsisTrip is celebrated Grapevine photographer Susan Lipper's new, conceptually ambitious artist's book: an assembled narrative of a fictional road trip in America, destination and starting point unknown. Adrift. The date is the present, but only slightly so. The viewer is cast without aid amongst snatches of text and vernacular objects, staged or found, that render the landscape neither familiar nor foreign. Semiotic interplay is introduced with seemingly objective signs and symbols, readable in a traditional sense, yetawhat meanings do they serve here? Re-appropriating the documentary.
