Tobias Kruse — In America: Part 2

A stark change of scenery: Compared to Detroit, people in Boulder, Colorado, await a bright future at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. A relaxed atmosphere prevails — also due to the mild climate. Boulder which is one hour northwest of Denver, treasures its liberal image. Because of the city’s location and the renowned, public University of Colorado, it is popular with students, creative minds and start-up entrepreneurs.

Tobias Kruse — In America

In April, Tobias Kruse travelled the United States with his camera — from New York, passing through the Rust Belt to Detroit by car (Part 1). He then flew to Boulder, Colorado (Part 2), followed by Austin, Texas (Part 3), before returning to the East Coast (Part 4). For decades, states in between the coasts have been referred to as “flyover country”, but at least Colorado and Texas are now competing with California. Kruse wrote down his impressions.

Tobias Kruse has been a member of OSTKREUZ since 2011. He lives and works in Berlin.
