These are the people actually making America great so...
This book celebrates all positive facets of diverse American identity. As an immigrant, what is something you hoped to capture about America in this book?
"For me, these portraits are really a portrait of America, and they assert the strength and visibility of this America."I went through a very emotional and self-reflecting experience few months ago, during Christmas. I went home, to Czech Republic, after 8 years of not being able to visit my home and family for various immigration reasons.
And it all happened, which I am really thankful for. I met Ryan at the opening of his exhibition Mirror, Mirror last summer and asked him if he would come to see my show"Young American" that was at that time on view at Czech Center New York. And he actually came to see it and it was such a precious moment — he is one of the most generous and pure people I have ever met. We talked and talked and it was like a dream. It was a major feeling of validation for me.
"At its core all of these people [in Young American] are really and powerfully just being themselves."The way I chose people [that I want to photograph] is very intuitive. I love going to openings, gatherings and downtown fashion events. It is always more fun for me with a camera in my hand and it's a great tool how to connect with strangers.
