About "Life in USA"

by Patrick Mertens aka Pat Probleme

About the artwork

This black-and-white photograph shows a night scene at an illuminated petrol station, creating an atmosphere of silence and mystery. The photo was taken from darkness, making the petrol station appear as a brightly lit island in the night.

In the centre of the image is a large white truck, whose headlights are on. To the right of the truck, petrol pumps and a sign with prices can be seen. The lighting under the canopy is bright and emphasises the architecture of the petrol station.

On the left side of the picture is a shop, also brightly lit. At the entrance to the kiosk, a person sits on the ground. Next to it, more towards the centre, are two figures facing away from the viewer. The clothing of these figures is striking, attracting attention.

The title of the file, may suggest that the scene is set in the United States and depicts an aspect of life there, perhaps the loneliness of the road or the night. The contrast between the bright light of the petrol station and the deep darkness around it is a striking feature of the picture.
