    Mark Power: “America continues to enthrall and to disappoint in equal measure”
    In 2012, Mark Power embarked on an ambition journey: Good Morning America, a visual narrative of the United States, spanning over five books and ten years. One way to undertake such a project would be to follow thematic or geographical patterns, but the British photographer refuses to cluster his photos along these lines, inviting us instead on an unpredictable ride through America’s immense scenery. But how do you photograph a country that has been so mythified through photography and film?

    ‘Good morning, America’: The state of the union through the eyes of Magnum photographer Mark Power – The Washington Post

    In “Good Morning, America,” published by GOST Books, Power offers a view, somewhat pessimistic, of a country he has found deeply divided as far back as the 1980s, when he made his first visit. “Its problems seemed then (and still do, only worse) to be so vast, so deep-rooted, like an enormous ball of twine that is slowly unraveling and impossible to stop,” he told In Sight. His photos, taken during various trips in America since 2012, highlight the incongruity of a country that stands at the top of the economic chain while also being home to increasingly larger pockets of inequalities.

    The first time, he was on vacation with his girlfriend. Mark Power discovered Poland as a tourist without ever imagining that after a tumultuous year, he would return here 25 times. It is 1989. He just entered stardom with his iconic pictures of the fall of the Berlin Wall, making him an expert on eastern Europe for his native British newspapers.
