America, My Way is a good example of contemporary photographers integrating publishing into how they make their work circulate. Matej Sitar, a young Slovenian photographer, opened The Angry Bat, his own publishing house, which is currently focused on the publication of his work.
In America, My Way, a small, square box containing three 50-page volumes, Sitar tells the story of his journey across the United States. Some images are repeated from one book to another, like confused memories, or a nod to the many narratives possible after an experience of this sort. Sitar’s pastel-colored photographs bear the marks of a nostalgic era while encouraging viewers to travel, offering a new reading of a legendary photographic journey across the United States.
