Sleeping by the Mississippi by Alec Soth 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 editions, and established him as one of the leading lights of contemporary photographic practice. This MACK edition launches to coincide with the first exhibition in London dedicated to the series at Beetles+Huxley gallery, and includes two new photographs that were not included in the previous versions of the book. Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Sleeping by the Mississippi captures America's iconic yet oft-neglected 'third coast'. Soth's richly descriptive, large-format colour photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, Sleeping by the Mississippi elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie. 'In the book's 46 ruthlessly edited pictures', writes Anne Wilkes Tucker in the original essay published in the book, 'Soth alludes to illness, procreation, race, crime, learning, art, music, death, religion, redemption, politics, and cheap sex.' Like Robert Frank's classic The Americans, Sleeping by the Mississippi merges a documentary style with poetic sensibility. The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust. Thirteen years since the book was first published, the artist's lyrical view has undoubtedly acquired a nuanced significance - one in which hope, fear, desire and regret coalesce in the evocative journey along this mythic river.

Alec Soth的攝風給人的印象是沉穩;細膩;清晰......還有溫柔。 記得於05年在曾翰傢與剛剛結束318國道拍攝的駱丹一起看畫冊《眠於密西西比》,其中的一張加油站的照片給我們的印象最為深刻。 加油站的燈光給人一種冷漠的刺激,硬直冰冷的暖調子。站上空無一人,人的一片墳塋落...

張張精彩,沒一張是湊閤的。
評分要創造這樣的故事
評分Empty grows every bed.Loneliness is as present as faith throughout the book.
評分恰恰是因為每一張照片單獨拿齣來都“沒那麼好”,放在一起纔像是相互詮釋的故事本身。
評分alec soth的代錶作之一。大跨幅彩色相片。“Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River” “Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust.”
