Route 66 (Mother Road)

(English follow) Le Highway 66, mieux connu sous le nom de Mother Road, compte parmi les routes mythiques des États-Unis. Elle a tracé ses sillons au plus profond de l'imaginaire américain. Symbole de liberté, de l’American Way of Life, elle a inspiré Jack Kirouac (Sur la route), de multiples musiciens, le cinéma américain et la culture du road trip. Elle a aussi été un vecteur de la migration de millions de travailleurs vers le Mid west et aussi le moteur de toute une industrie de petits commerces familiaux (Mom and Dad business) aujourd’hui disparus. J’ai essayé, avec cette image aux tons vieillots, de mettre en valeur, l’extraordinaire feeling que pouvaient ressentir les voyageurs du passé et ceux qui, aujourd’hui encore (les nostalgiques comme moi), empruntent les fragments restants de cette route légendaire.

The Highway 66, better knowned as the Mother Road, is one of the mythical roads of the United States. The Mother Road traced his grooves deep into the American popular imagination. Symbol of freedom, of the American way of life, the Route 66 has inspired Jack Kirouac (On the road), multiple musicians, the American cinema and the culture of road trips. The Mother Road has been a vector of the migration for millions of workers to the Mid West and also the engine of an entire industry of small family businesses (Mom and Dad’s business) now disappeared. I tried, with this old fashioned image, to highlight the extraordinary feeling of the past travelers and of those who, even today (the nostalgics like me), use the remaining fragments of this legendary road.
