Summary

The book Gasoline, by Kyle Pappas, is a collection of photographs taken while walking 16,000 miles and driving over 120,000 miles across 48 states in the USA, parts of Canada and Mexico, between 2017 and 2023. An incredible journey where Pappas split time boondocking on public land, stealth-camping on side roads and in Walmart parking lots, and staying at Motel 6s. At one point or another, he made friends with a barefoot, rifle-carrying man in an abandoned building, was lit on fire, and detained by border patrol.

A Short History of Cameraless Photography

In the history of photography, cameraless photography has always been relegated to the background. Too personal, too experimental, too strange, too iconoclastic. And yet, it is actually much older than camera photography! Praised by the Avant-garde artists, it is now a field of chemical, technological and philosophical exploration for contemporary artists, and it challenges our preconceived notions about photography.
