Diana Matar’s series My America is an archive of and memorial to victims of encounters with police in the US. The photographs, taken at locations where citizens were shot or tasered by law enforcement officers, create a chilling critique of the contemporary United States. The black and white photographs are of city parks, shopping malls, parking lots, mobile homes, empty fields and roadside highways. By photographing these banal landscapes Matar declares that what has happened at the locations matters and questions the link between landscape and memory.
