Preceding his lecture tomorrow night at the SFMoma, I decided to direct the beam towards American photographer Alec Soth. While some might find his photos too ordinary, i've always been attracted to this type of subtle surreality. What are essentially pictures of every day life in America, seem to evoke, for me at least, a deep symbolism and commentary on the human condition. The bleakness of his vision only adds feeling to the stark photos. So if you're in San Francisco, i highly recommend hearing what this Magnum Photos member has to say about his work.
Tuesday, November 29th, 7 - 9 at SFMoma Phyllis Wattis Theatre.
