Product Description
Product Description
A fictional trip through America, the images and the accompanying texts in this book play against each other juxtaposing ideas and sensations. It reappropriates the documentary tradition to create an American narrative that casts the reader adrift in a world of vernacular objects.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Bold leap with new work., 17 Dec 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trip (Hardcover)
Susan Lipper has taken a bold leap in presenting a body of work which touches on the real, imagined, mundane and the bizarre. A lonely trip of images which are echoed by the strange and brilliant narrative by Frederick Barthelme. Trip is a provocative voyage, part fictional, part reality through a maze of back roads, bayous, motels and various unidentified locales. The resultant work is one which alternately confuses and enlightens. Is this work theater, documentary, fantasy, dream, nightmare or some sad reality? Probably a little of each. Trip is a huge departure from Lipper's previous book "Grapevine" and I applaud her courageous step towards the new and unknown. I recommend this unique book.

bill in tennessee, 11 April 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trip (Hardcover)
susan can make formica disquieting. Many photographers have been on the road, few have taken a picture and left it hanging, lighter than air and about to break and drop to the floor under the weight of a trip, like Ms Lipper has. And there is a book of these wonderful, thoughtful photographs.

"Trip" is a trip!, 15 Feb 2000
By mike smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Trip (Hardcover)
Do not buy this book looking for familiar signs of travel or a destination. The "trip" you, the viewer, embark upon is not the sort which gets you "there". Rather it is an experience akin to the wakening one might have following a long, vacant stare and realizing that, despite your own logic or familiarity with the world, the most common object has the potential for revealing puzzling, but significant, meaning. Through the use of her camera's frame and lens Lipper evokes/creates/invents realities that force unanswered questions and pose mystery. Frederick Barthelme's fiction hauntingly echoes the quality of dislocation permeated in the photographs. Together the text and photographs create an ambitious concept of contemporary existence.
"Trip" is a beautiful, smart, funny and disturbing book.
