Leica Camera and the Leica Fotografie International (LFI) S Magazine have been following this project in the USA for a year. The outcome is “American Made”, Gilden's impressive snapshots of those of his fellow citizens who have been unable to live the American Dream. In addition to the elaborate S Magazine, which includes 80 of Gilden's pictures, LFI is also producing worldwide exhibitions of the photographer's detail-rich pictures, printed in outstanding quality. With their 2.7 x 1.8m format, they are probably the largest, single-sheet photographs ever printed in such high quality on Kodak photo paper.
Following a preview presentation at the Leica Fotografie International exhibition space, another 26 prints will be on display as of October 23 at the Hamburg offices of Edel AG.
