11 – Tony Dočekal

Netherlands (1992)
The Color of Money and Trees
La Serrurerie
Indoor

Since 2018, Tony Dočekal has spent several months volunteering in the United States for an organisation that helps the homeless. Between Arizona and California, the Dutch photographer meets these people who, by obligation or choice, live on the margins of society. Out of these exchanges comes a series of analogue photographs, taken over a six-year period during the artist’s numerous visits to the American West. On her travels, Dočekal also photographed a young girl whose family leads a nomadic existence out of an anti-establishment philosophy. Referring to the colour green, which evokes luck and nature, Dočekal’s project questions the pursuit of success and highlights the negative aspects of the American dream. Part life story, part introspective journey, The Colour of Money and Trees is a human tale of the things that bind us.
