Book Synopsis
American Psyche: The Unlit Cave is a collection of images made in the United States from 2004 to 2019. The photographs are visual metaphors mirroring the artist’s reactions to America’s colonialism and its inability to live up to its ideals. Heavily influenced by Carl Jung’s concepts of synchronicity and the unconscious, it uses American symbols to create a unique record of our current moment.

Trade Review

"Elsasser had been long affected by Carl Jung’s concepts of synchronicity and the unconscious. His story points towards inner journeys, clarity and healing." - The Guardian, July 8, 2020

"It is clear that, considering the saturation and contrasts of the selection of images, this is a much more complex work." - F-Stop Magazine
