Homes for America: Back Yard, New "Tract" Homes, Staten Island, New York 1974/"Ranch Style" House, Vancouver, B.C., Canada 1974

Two chromogenic prints document the monotonous suburban landscapes of mid-1970s North America, capturing the standardized architecture of tract housing developments in Staten Island, New York and Vancouver, British Columbia. Graham's deadpan photographic approach highlights the interchangeable nature of these mass-produced domestic spaces, emphasizing the homogeneity that defined postwar suburban expansion across the continent. The work reflects Graham's ongoing investigation into the relationship between architecture, consumerism, and social conditioning that characterized his seminal *Homes for America* project.
