Ephemera and memorabilia centering on baseball legend Henry Aaron are at the forefront of American Dreams (lost and found). Here, they are seen juxtaposed against scrolling hand-written excerpts from the diary of Arthur Bremer—a Milwaukee man who plotted to assassinate US president Richard Nixon—and a soundtrack of significant political speeches and pop songs recorded between 1954 and 1976.
