American Psyche: The Unlit Cave (Daylight Books 2020)

"Jung at heart: a journey into America's subconscious – in pictures. The skies may be blue, but...Elsasser captures the part of the US that lurks in the shadows...”

---The Guardian

“Staring into the deep abyss of the American psyche, George Elsasser dramatically captures the great experiment standing on a precipice...”

---We Heart

"...Elsasser's encounter with the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung some four decades ago etched a deep and indelible impression on the artist. In American Psyche: The Unlit Cave..., Elsasser's new book of photography, the artist constructs metaphorical expressions of Jung's “shadow”.  An archetype for that part of ourselves that is unconscious, unknown, unexamined, rejected, or repressed, the shadow in these photographs shot between 2005-2019, refers to the unconscious of the individual as well as the to the collective unconscious of America."
