America Series
A Mobile Exhibition
“I am Chief Perry of the Ramapough Lanapee Munsee Nation, the people of this land, the sweetwater clan of the people of the mountains. Florence’s eye is what I believe to be the new paradigm, in a world where we must walk in unity, light, and understanding. It is just astonishing that she is bringing the reality of that dream to so many of us.
For that, I want to say thank you. Wanishi anishi.”
In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, marking two and a half centuries since the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, Attaché presents the exhibition of America Series, a collection of photographs and a film by Florence Montmare.
The exhibition's format continues the central theme of the work: movement through America. Created during a 7,000-mile journey across nearly 30 states, the series was produced from a mobile studio housed inside an electric vehicle, tracing historic American migration routes including Route 66 and the vast interstate systems connecting the country’s changing social and physical landscapes. Drawing from traditions established by photographers such as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, and Richard Avedon, America Series revisits the American road as both myth and method, as an evolving presentation moving through the country it portrays.
At a moment of national reflection, America Series proposes a contemporary portrait of the nation: one that both documents and participates in the ongoing movement of American life.

“There is something radical about an encounter with a stranger. In the meeting between the eyes, all things external seem to fall away. Each person standing against the same blank canvas illuminates how, in the end, more connects us than divides us. This may be what keeps the fabric of America from being ripped apart.”
