Texasville is a series of photographs taken in 1989 that examines one of the central pillars of the American experience: invention. 

While on the set of the film, Texasville, James Hayman began taking photographs of the production as well as the town of Wichita Falls. As he chronicled them both, he observed that they melded together becoming indistinguishable from one another. 

By focusing on imagery typically associated with Americana, especially our understanding of the American West, these photographs reveal how reality fluctuates between fixity and artifice. What is imagined and what is real are the questions that arise from the exploration of this microcosm.
