In Rob Hann's images, the American landscape meets human culture in often twisted and humorous ways. In "Highway 90, Texas (Prada Marfa)," we see a Prada store standing solitary and empty by a highway, with the American South's desolate landscape in the background. In the book "Landmark: The Fields of Photography" from 2014, Rob Hann describes his interest in the American road:
"At the age of three I climbed through a hole in the garden fence and headed off on my tricycle to visit my grandmother's house a few miles away. It was my first road trip. Later in life I became a photographer and, in 2001, took my first solo road trip with my camera in the American west. I knew I'd found my subject. Since then I've moved to New York City and take to the American road whenever I get the chance. I'm not documenting the brutal creeping sprawl of corporate America. I'm seeking the magic that still exists in the spaces in between."
