From the critical text by Marta Ciccolari Micaldi -
Author and journalist specializing in North American culture:

There is no other place in the world that has its own dream for sale. There is no Italian dream or Thai dream or Chilean dream: there is only the American dream. And that's it.
It is to the US one that the expectations of the rest of the world - and also those of those fortunate enough to have been born into it - look; it is to that dream that the gazes and emotions of those who want fulfillment, enthusiasm, peace, a future for their lives often respond.

America is the promised land of our secular time, it is the flag in whose sacred stars we see a sky of infinite possibilities, in whose sacred stripes we see straight roads and a boundless horizon. We see it until, at some point, a point we cannot foresee or welcome, we see nothing more.
And the dream becomes first confusion, then disillusionment, finally - if one is lucky enough not to have in the meantime completely compromised the soul to buy that sinister dream - detachment.And thus, perhaps, salvation.

It happens to everyone today, in different ways and degrees. Especially degrees of sincerity: some insist on never wanting to see reality beyond the dream despite experiencing its irreducible harshness; there are those who for that revelation go so far as to take their own lives.

Ferri's American story of fascination and awareness is told through the photographs of No Other Country but America, a project that collects 10 years of observation and experience on the ground and is the best contemporary visual representation of what writer Bret Easton Ellis had called, speaking of Los Angeles and the United States, "gleaming nihilism."
