In the summer of 1990, Magnum
photographer Carl De Keyzer bought a camper van and spent a year
travelling across the United States to capture the American religious
experience. Published in 1992, the series - which was exhibited at the
California Museum of Photography in San Diego - was called God Inc.
Thirty years later, he has revisited the American Bible Belt and
various other states to see how religious groups embrace modern life and
the latest technologies in their search for new followers. The result, God Inc. I & II,
is a fascinating documentary of American life that bundles both series
of photographs in a reversible format with two covers. The first part is
supplemented with photographs that were not published before. 'During
the whole year, I asked myself why Americans undergo their religious
experiences so intensively and emotionally.' - Carl De Keyzer, during
the process of creating God Inc. I.
