SONGBOOK by Alec Soth [FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING]

国際的写真家集団「マグナム・フォト」正会員を務めるアメリカ人フォトグラファー、アレック・ソス(Alec Soth)の作品集。本作では2012年から2014年にかけてニューヨークからシリコンバレーへと横断しながら、各州に存在し独自の文化が形成されているコミュニティに集まる人々の生活を撮影したモノクロ作品を収録。これまで「NY TIMES」や自身のレーベル「Little Brown Mushroom」でのタブロイド・シリーズ「THE LBM DISPATCH」を通して発表されてきたこれらの作品から根源的な繋がりを求める人間の感情に焦点をあて、本来セットとなっていたテキストを排除し様々な音楽の歌詞と共に再編集。個人主義と繋がりへの希求、それらの間にあるアメリカ人の感情を叙情的に描き出した一冊。2015年2月に開催されたアメリカ・サンフランシスコのギャラリー「Fraenkel Gallery」での同名展覧会に併せての発行。

"This is the closest we have to an Americans for our time... CAPOLAVORO!... already hailed critically as a classic... One of the best photo books in a lonnnnng time"

Known for his haunting portraits of solitary Americans in Sleeping by the Mississippi and Broken Manual, Alec Soth has recently turned his lens toward community life in the country. To aid in his search, Soth assumed the increasingly obsolescent role of community newspaper reporter. From 2012-2014, Soth traveled state by state while working on his self-published newspaper, The LBM Dispatch, as well as on 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. With Songbook, Soth has stripped these pictures of their news context in order to highlight the longing for connection at their root. Fragmentary, funny and sad, Songbook is a lyrical depiction of the tension between American individualism and the desire to be united.
