Tribble & Mancenido

Tribble & Mancenido are photographers who have recently traveled across the states highlighting the journey of the American trucking culture.

James Tribble graduated from the School of Visual Arts and Tracey Mancenido-Tribble from Polimoda in Florence, Italy/FIT in NY. The collaborative artists spent over a year on the road living out of their eighteen-wheeler. Tribble & Mancenido have been exhibited and published nationally and internationally, including shows at Centre Pompidou, in association with The Shanghai Art Museum, Houston Center for Photography, Magenta's Flash Forward Festival in Toronto, PIP International Photo Festival in Pingyao, China and Host Gallery in London. James and Tracey's work has been featured in publications such as The British Journal of Photography, Bloomberg Businessweek, Photo District News and The New York Times. They are represented by Sasha Wolf Gallery in New York.

Hurry Up & Wait is an ongoing collection of images intimately exploring the often conventionalized and fantasized life of America's trucking culture. For this project, the artists Tribble & Mancenido assume the role of both voyeur and subject, dedicating over a year as employed truck drivers. This unique portrait of America examines a way of life integral to the country's commerce-driven, consuming culture. Their still compositions transform the grit and grime ubiquitously associated to the subculture into provocatively quiet meditations of life between loads, focusing on the loneliness that accompanies it.
