Carl Gunhouse spent past five years traveling around the United States to portrait American society, its desire for security and consumption. Hard-working Americans build their lives around consumption, luxury, comfort, safety. Focusing on the other side of this ideal, American Desire reflects the reality of struggling economy: half-finished constructions, abandoned houses, depression.
