Lakeside, a photo story by Shane Rocheleau @shanerocheleau -- Weaving together portraits, landscapes, found objects, and advertising imagery in his new photobook, Shane Rocheleau presents an unsparing view of complicated American history. -- The starling is just one example of the many ways in which cleverly-crafted myths and rhetoric have obscured American life, how the powerful have directed fear and paranoia towards anyone who appears different, scapegoating communities of non-white immigrants, black, brown, and LGBTQIA+ people. Rocheleau addresses the ways in which we as a nation have dressed up the story of America to fit our needs: American history as propaganda. This is nothing new; in the study of history one can never ignore who writes it and whose narrative is best served by it. -- View the full article and more images here: LensCulture.com Photographs by Shane Rocheleau @shanerocheleau Book review by Magali Duzant @magaliduzant
