Pursuit
Richard Pak
A project created over a six-year period, Pursuit is the disenchanted chronicle of an idealised America. Being a keen admirer of American literature, cinema and painting, I created my own fantasy America, a not-so-imaginary place filled with fictional heroes. The purpose of this work is to juxtapose a mental construction with the reality of American everyday life and to picture the “American experience” as a metaphor for a bigger experience. In my photographs I intend to suggest rather than describe, translate life’s small dramas into something timeless and universal.
The title Pursuit echoes the United States Declaration of Independence stating every American’s rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. This work is a visual journal of a chimerical quest: happiness, granted as a constitutional right.
