"American Realities" is a photo collection by Danish photographer Joakim Eskildsen. After studying photography and bookmaking under Pentti Sammallahti, a leading Finnish photographer and professor at the University of Art and Design Helsinki, Eskildsen embarked on a seven-year journey tracking the Roma (Gypsies) across Europe. His stunning debut, "The Roma Journeys," documented his journey and garnered numerous awards, catapulting him to instant fame. This book, commissioned by the photo director of Time Magazine, is a reportage documenting the realities of America's poor. Based on statistical data, the book features landscapes, interiors, and portraits from visits to poverty-stricken areas such as New Orleans, Louisiana; Athens, Georgia; and the Bronx, New York. The book's undercover investigations into America's dark side reveal that "there is no such thing as the American Dream. This is American reality."
