Summary:

The road movie 'Easy Rider', Yellowstone National Park, Route 66, Stephen Shore's 'Uncommon Places' or David Lynch's 'Twin Peaks'; these random names and places immediately fire the imagination. 'Objects in Mirror' investigates just how deep the American landscape has penetrated our daily lives: in films, advertisement, books and music.
