Over the course of a few years, photographer Jens Rosenkrantz has deliberately taken the back roads and compiled an archive of nearly 20,000 images that opens a lens to the country not often revealed. The photographs included in Small Towns and Long Views were taken along the 20,000 miles that Rosenkrantz has traveled since 2014 throughout the American West, the Midwest, New England, the Outer Banks, and the Southeast. Small Towns and Long Views takes the viewer along on the journey with the artist, providing insight into the hidden treasures of the United States through his lens. The Clifton Cultural Arts Center presents the exhibition at The Esquire Theatre–an anchor of the Clifton Gaslight business district and Cincinnati’s premier art-house movie theater. This exhibition, a documentation of Rosenkrantz’s journey across many miles, is a personal archive that marks the time and place of extraordinary travels. What sets these images apart from other travelogues is the quality of the photographs and their representation of routes less traveled–of places not as exposed–allowing the viewer to glean a new perspective and different impression from a particular location.
