Alec Soth - A Pound of Pictures

About

Between 2018 and 2021, Alec Soth travelled around the United States and photographed people, places, and situations that caught his attention and that, at times, reminded him of his earlier work. He also actively looked at and collected photographs sold at flea markets and online, which not only prompted him to consider what it means to be a photographer and how photographs exist in the world, but to also explore these themes in his own work. Consequently, the photographs that make up his latest body of work, A Pound of Pictures, are less about their visible subjects and more about the processes in which photographs are made and their material and immaterial weight.
