Wim Wenders was the European maestro of the road movie, his postwar generation’s consciousness colonized, as he would often remind us, by American culture. Wenders, in documenting his global wanderings since the early 80s,has built up a large body of photographic work.

His Places, strange and quiet exhibition includes some early black-and-white prints that predate Written in the West, a book of American street scenes shot while scouting locations for Paris, Texas.

You get the life of Australia, in this shot, that is, the undying commitment to life, and the transient state of lost hope. Thankyou for reminding me of Wim Wenders.
