"After years of photographing in his native rural Central Valley of California, photographer Matt Black wondered, “Just how many other places like mine are there in America?” While the Valley grows nearly half of the nation’s food, close to one-third of its population live in poverty. In 2014, Black began photographing the Valley’s poorest communities, and the following year, he expanded the project to encompass the entire United States. Traveling across 46 states and Puerto Rico, Black visited thousands of high-poverty areas that, while woven through the fabric of the country, are excluded from “the land of opportunity.” American Geography is the visual record of his six-year, 100,000-mile journey chronicling the conditions and experience of those cut off from the American Dream."
