«Blue Highways» – Flavia Leuenberger Ceppi
The images in my exhibition ‘Blue Highways’ were taken on seven trips across the United States. I not only wanted to visit iconic places, but also to follow routes that led through unknown and unusual areas. I have always been fascinated by the ‘simple’ observation of the vastness of these areas and their details, of scenarios where man is almost absent. Some of my routes pass by places that have inspired American cinema and photography. This gave me the idea of calling this exhibition ‘Blue Highways’, the title of William Least Heat-Moon's autobiographical book. Blue was the colour of the roads Heat-Moon followed on old American maps. It is also the colour of the back roads that became obsolete when the interstates were built. My travels did not follow the writer's routes, but I searched for authentic places with similar roads as protagonists.
