Aidan Klimenko is an American photographer based in LA. Having grown up in both Ecuador and Minnesota, his practice is centered around looking to bridge the American continents and cultures. We featured his project “Autopsia Autopista,” which saw him travel along the Pan-American highway seeking to capture the unifying aspects of Americanness; not the things that separate people, but the common ground they share across borders.
