Aperture 127 - Spring 1992
Our Town
Guest edited by David Byrne, “Our Town” considers the idea of community in the United States today. With images by over fifty photographers and a diverse group of personal essays, we journey through a multitude of representations and perspectives: small towns and suburbia, urban communities, home and family, farm communities, community as expressed through shared interests, and the concept of community or non-community, of “our town” as Anyplace and No Place, U.S.A.
