In this new edition of Omaha Sketchbook, Gregory Halpern returns to his lyrical yet equivocal account of the American heartland. Compiled over fifteen years of photographing Omaha, Nebraska, the book forms a prescient meditation on America, the men and boys who inhabit it, and the mechanics of aggression, inadequacy, and power. In loosely collaged spreads that reproduce his construction-paper sketchbooks, Halpern takes pleasure in dissonance and unexpected harmony, playing on a sense of simultaneous repulsion and attraction to the place. Halpern has significantly altered the first iteration of the book with a new cover and thirty-five previously unseen photographs, breathing life into his original notion that this project is a working sketchbook he will return to and revise periodically.
