Inhaltsangabe

On September 23, 2018, photographer Barry Phipps drove seven hours south from his home in Iowa to his parents&; house in southern Missouri. There they wrestled a family heirloom into his car&;a wooden table for his Aunt Diane&;and Barry and his mother drove more than twelve hundred miles to Di­ane&;s home on Florida&;s Gulf Coast, stayed a few days, then drove back to Missouri.

Phipps presents the 104 color photographs in Driving a Table Down&;selected from more than 2,000 photo­graphs taken over the twelve-day trip&;in sequential order to show, in his words, &;what does and does not change as one travels through shifting cultural and geographic regions.&; By capturing the present mo­ment while referencing the past with faded signs, al­most obliterated murals, closed businesses in quiet towns, forgotten tourist attractions, and many other layers of historical accumulations, the photographs illustrate the stark fact that the present is never en­tirely present tense. Phipps&;s attention to the real-time details of rural regions of the Midwest and the South, juxtaposed with personal photographs of his family, gives us a momentary definition of America in a state of flux, an America that looks to the past in a time of an uncertain future.
