America Series
on view at Barrington Hall
June 1, 2026 — September 30, 2026
In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the United States on July 4, 2026, marking two and a half centuries since the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence, Barrington Hall presents the inaugural exhibition of America Series with a collection of photographs and a film by Florence Montmare.
Conceived as a mobile exhibition, the format itself continues one of the central themes 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 — not as a fixed exhibition, but as a living, evolving presentation intended to continue moving through the country it portrays.
At a moment of national reflection surrounding America’s 250th anniversary, America Series proposes a contemporary portrait of the nation: a mobile work 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.”
