It’s deeply woven into American life, regardless of race, geography, or culture.” - Matt Black (@mattblack_blackmatt)⁠ .⁠ This 2014 photograph is from Matt Black’s series American Geography. For the ongoing project, Black has travelled to poor areas in 44 US states, documenting communities whose poverty rates are above 20 percent. The project aims to highlight the increasing levels of inequality in one of the richest countries on Earth.⁠ .⁠ This image was taken in Tulare County, California, the wealthiest state in America. However, in Tulare itself, 27 percent of people live below the poverty line, a markedly higher number than the national average of 13 percent.⁠ .⁠ After his work in California, Black aimed to document poverty as a nationwide concern, and the extent of Black’s travels became integral to the project itself: a demonstration of the vast scale of the issue.⁠ .⁠ This is image included in the new Magnum Editions Posters collections, an exclusive range of contemporary, image-led posters available both signed and unsigned.⁠ .⁠ Visit the Magnum Shop at the link in bio.⁠ .⁠ PHOTO: USA.
