Highway Song

Austin Hansen

Magnum X Speos 2021 - 2022 Creative documentary and photojournalism

Inspired by American folk songs, I set out to document glimpses of modern life that capture the feelings and struggles this music traditionally conveys. I drove across my home state of Texas following Interstate 35, one of North America’s longest and most highly trafficked highways. The interstate connects border towns to big cities for more than 500 miles from Mexico to just north of Dallas, where wide disparities of opportunity and wealth are laid bare among a mixture of diverse communities and cultures
