Editorial Review:
Product Description:
''The King is Alive!''...The journey of the photographers Robert Huber and Stephan Vanfleteren began in New York somewhere along 42nd street. It ended three weeks and eleven states later in Death Valley. Everything the two artists did during their journey, they did dressed as Elvis Presley, the King of Rock'n'Roll. The artists photographed each other, with Presley (Vanfleteren) in black and white, and Elvis (Huber) in color. ''Elvis'' and ''Presley'' crossed the country riding Greyhound buses and subways, hitch-hiking, strolling through malls or ending up in small town bars where strange women embraced them. While as photojournalists they were accustomed to remaining behind the scenes, here Huber and Vanfleteren found themselves suddenly thrust into the spotlight of their own work. What emerges is a hyperreal road movie, a media-damaged update of Robert Frank's "The Americans ", in which two Europeans step into the boundless television screen that is America. Hardcover, 11 x 11 inches, 98 pages, 45 color and 45 b&w illustrations.

stephan and robert, both powerful photographer came up with a simple idea making this project unique.
they both challenge their own vision of amerika and have photographed each other wearing elvis clothes along the road from ny to las vegas.
more than a book for the fan of elvis, it's a new photojournalistic view and a item that anyone loving photography should have.
so now, buy it !

The photos are terrific and the little story behind the project, which is told in the end pages, made me laugh out loud. If only the book weren't so expensive. But if you can afford it, and you have a fondness for seeing jumpsuited Elvis look-a-likes in very un-Elvis situations, you will treasure this book.

Hubert & Vanfleteren Took a month to cross the US dresses like Elvis and photographing themselves, the country and its people. The two different photographic styles complement each other and make this book well worth buying. It shows the US and its people confronted by a "legend", the result is a beautifull and humorous visual story.
