Known for his haunting portraits of solitary Americans in Sleeping by the Mississippi and Broken Manual, Alec Soth has turned his lens toward community life in the country in Songbook. To aid in his search, Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of a community newspaper reporter. From 2012 to 2014, he traveled state by state while working on his self-published newspaper, The LBM Dispatch, as well as on an assignment for the New York Times and others. From upstate New York to Silicon Valley, Soth attended hundreds of meetings, dances, festivals and communal gatherings in search of human interaction in an era of virtual social networks.

Alec Soth / Sleeping by the Mississippi
Sleeping by the Mississippi is one of the defining publications in the photobook era. First published by Steidl in 2004, it was Soth’s first book, sold through three print runs, and established him as one of the leading lights of contemporary photographic practice. This is the second printing of the MACK edition and includes two new photographs that were not included in the Steidl versions of the book.
