Mountain’s previews

A journey through the Great Smoky Mountains told through the souvenirs of Native American culture, the entertainment equipments, the small cities teeming with cafes, the fleets of tourists who distracted by the most disparate and insulse activities turn back to what led them unconsciously. With “Big Rock Candy Mountain” Tammy Mercure returns us an insight, pitiless as effective, on the most visited natural park of the United States. A survey that jokes on people’s behaviour and sheds light on the needs that attract them in the parks and feeds the most unthinkable and contradictory trades. A special attraction by the American photograher that is found also in other works as “More places for people” and “Mountain Empire”. Images crossed by a critical spirit toward consumerism which does not seem to abandon us even in the most intact and sacred places, and turns any experience into an irreverent comedy.
