Filmmaker Statement

Immersed in a monochromatic landscape of surrealism, Tin Lizards is a testament to the enduring allure of train travel. Each location featured was reached by train, departing from Robert LeBlanc’s, the photographer and co-director, home base in Los Angeles. As the rhythmic clatter of steel on steel propels LeBlanc forward, he captures the essence of exploration and discovery, weaving a captivating tapestry of photographs from the places he encounters, showcasing the delicate balance between stillness and movement. From the solitude of his sleeper car to the enchanting hush of small towns and the bustling energy of major cities, LeBlanc adeptly frames these diverse landscapes with an artistic eye that finds beauty in even the quietest moments. Supported by the prestigious Fahey/Klein Gallery and the adventurous spirit of Arc'teryx.
