of the modern landscape.--Editors "Musee"
A decade ago, Juergen Teller and Harmony Korine took a road trip
with famed photographer William Eggleston and his son. This book
serves as a visual memoir of the trip, and an homage to Eggleston
himself, whose influence can be seen in many of the clever
re-creations of his own themes, and who appears as a star in scenes
throughout the book.--Kate Bubacz "BuzzFeed"
Ten years ago, William Eggleston, Harmony Korine, and Juergen
Teller set off through the American bible belt on a road trip to
see nothing. It almost sounds like a Beckettian joke. For this
motley trio of pilgrims it might as well have been.--Taylor Dafoe
