Tin Lizards Untitled #160

Immersed in a monochromatic landscape of surrealism, Tin Lizards is a testament to the enduring allure of train travel. As the rhythmic clatter of steel on steel propels forward, Robert Leblanc captures the essence of exploration and discovery, weaving a captivating tapestry of photographs from the places he encounters, showcasing the delicate balance between stillness and movement. From the solitude of his sleeper car to the enchanting hush of small towns and the bustling energy of major cities, LeBlanc adeptly frames these diverse landscapes with an artistic eye that finds beauty in even the quietest moments.

Cultivated at the intersection of photography and digital artistry, Tin Lizards blossomed from the collaborative efforts of LeBlanc and 96 Studio, accompanied by a handpicked assembly of ten art collectors. Each collector was granted a ticket to access the project's voting token-gated website.These collectors didn't merely observe; they actively steered the project's direction. Through online voting, they charted the course of Amtrak destinations. They even weighed in on Robert's dining and lodging choices, akin to the interactive allure of 'choose your own adventure' narratives, albeit in a digital arena. This immersive journey endows collectors with a distinctive vantage point, allowing them to witness the birth and execution of a creative vision. Furthermore, they participate in curatorial decisions, influencing the final selection of images in the series.
