Hardcover. The last in a trilogy of books on the American condition, Model Citizens considers the United States as a case study into a global phenomenon: How have staging, performance, and roleplay come to inform thinking about citizenship in a violent land whose people no longer agree on what is true?Jarringly juxtaposed images from apparently unrelated sitessuch as US Border Patrol Academy training scenarios, Save America rallies, and history museumsilluminate systems that reconcile, justify, or distract from the harsh realities of life in a polarized, militarized society. The design accentuates slippages: images flow across French-fold page turns, just as Cornwalls practice questions the role of documentary photography in an era of splintered realities. The Model Citizens project was awarded the 2023 Prix Elysee, a biennial juried prize for mid-career photographers, sponsored by the Photo Elysee Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. The award also includes a grant for a concurrent publication in both English and French (Citoyens Modeles, Editions Textuel, 2024). Both editions will be released to coincide with Les Rencontres de la Photographie dArles in July 2024. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Jarringly juxtaposed images from apparently unrelated sites—such as US Border Patrol Academy training scenarios, “Save America” rallies, and history museums—illuminate systems that reconcile, justify, or distract from the harsh realities of life in a polarized, militarized society. The design accentuates slippages: images flow across French-fold page turns, just as Cornwall’s practice questions the role of documentary photography in an era of splintered realities.
The Model Citizens project was awarded the 2023 Prix Elysée, a biennial juried prize for mid-career photographers, sponsored by the Photo Elysée Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. The award also includes a grant for a concurrent publication in both English and French (Citoyens Modèles, Éditions Textuel, 2024). Both editions will be released to coincide with Les Rencontres de la Photographie d’Arles in July 2024.
