Gentlemen’s Club: Photographs by François Prost
Discover a new kind of American landscape through Prost’s road trip photos documenting strip club facades across the South
In 2019, French photographer François Prost (born 1980) road tripped across the American South. Instead of visiting national parks or exploring major cities, he sought out strip clubs in Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and California, snapping photographs of their exteriors in the stark light of day. Comprising 200 images taken at a medium distance, Gentlemen’s Club highlights the austere geometry of American roadside architecture. Tucked away in strip malls or standing brazenly alone before an on-ramp to an interstate, the strip clubs are embedded within the country’s infrastructure across urban, suburban and rural zones. Previously, Prost had photographed nightclub facades across France and found that many of the venues drew their stylistic references from postwar American pop culture. So, the photographer deemed it natural to turn to the United States for the next installment of his long-form project.

We love this book because it finds design in places most people would never think to look. François Prost photographs strip club facades across America in broad daylight, turning neon signs, bold typography, unusual architecture, and roadside kitsch into a fascinating visual study. For photographers, graphic designers, and creatives, it is an unexpected source of inspiration for color, composition, signage, and the visual language of American roadside culture.
