XYZ is a further exploration of the topic Douglas Coupland wrote about in his bestselling novel Generation X - Tales for an accelerated culture. Generation X is not just a term used to define a generation, it is a catch phrase, marketing tool and even for a few, something to venerate.
In my exploration of Gen-Xers, who have now grown into adulthood, and its younger sibling, Generation Y, I witnessed and documented both the desolation often associated with a displaced people as well as the hope that only the recently freed can truly express. I chose to follow in Douglas Coupland’s footsteps and focus on Palm Springs and its surrounding areas, known locally as »the valley« because within this small seemingly innocuous town lies a microcosm of American culture as a whole.

XYZ es una exploración del tema que Doulgas Coupland trató en su novela “Generación X- Cuentos para una cultura acelerada”. Generación X no es solo un término usado para definir una generación, es una frase pegajosa, una herramienta de mercadeo y para algunos hasta algo que venerar.
Al explorar a los miembros de esta generación, que ahora son adultos y a sus hermanos menores, fui testigo y documenté la desolación y la esperanza . Seguí los pasos de Couplnad y me enfoqué en el área de Palm Springs llamada “el valle”, que es un microcosmos de la cultura norteamericana.
