Gerry Johansson

PONTIAC

Sensitive and subtle, Johansson hints at town life through the occasional car or lone figure

but for the most part draws the reader’s eye to the simplistic architecture of a small

American town. In singling out Pontiac, Johansson offers comment on more than the

landscape, photographing a microcosm of the effects of the decline in the auto industry in

Michigan.

'

His images are echoing the new topographical photographers of the 1970s.

Pontiac marks the end of an eighteen year project by Gerry Johansson. In 1993 Johansson

visited America, taking photographs on his travels from one small town to the next.He

traveled through the states again in 1994 and 1996, repeating this photographic process.
