Alec Soth: Sleeping by the Mississippi
Alec Soth: Sleeping by the Mississippi
Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Alec Soth’s early body of work, Sleeping by the Mississippi, captures America’s iconic yet oft-neglected “third coast.” Soth’s richly descriptive, large format color photographs describe an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors.
