Along the Blue Streets. Photographs by Francesco Conversano

Between 1999 and 2017, filmmaker Francesco Conversano traveled across the United States, capturing the authentic soul of American roads. Ninety photographs in black and white compose a visual narrative where memory and the imaginary of America intertwine. The images reveal desert landscapes, abandoned motels, illuminated signs, and faces marked by time. Conversano practices a “cinema of reality” that meets the settled mythologies of the American West. His photographs evoke both the road movie and documentary photography, creating a melancholic and poetic atmosphere. The title refers to the blue highways of road maps, these lines that trace the infinity of possibilities. An exhibition that invites a contemplative journey into an America off the beaten path, between nostalgia and discovery.
