The [Untitled Photo] Series: Suburbia

Lurking within the Library of Congress is a colossal collection of photographs documenting the United States in all its diversity, providing us with a glimpse into twentieth century American life.

These images all share one common element: they are untitled, ultimately left to the archivists to try to attach these unclassified moments to a wider context.

Photographs remastered by Jordan Acosta, Joshua Barrett and Tetyana Dyachenko
