Gathered Leaves

An American photographer, Magnum photojournalist, Instagrammer and self-publisher – Alec Soth (b. 1969) is an all-round photography professional who seeks to encounter his audience through different formats from social media to museum exhibitions. It’s no wonder that he is one of the most talked about photographers of the 2010s.

The exhibition Gathered Leaves brings together the four major works that brought Soth to the forefront worldwide. Sleeping by the Mississippi, Niagara, Broken Manualand Songbook, all photographed between 2004 and 2014, introduce the viewer to poetic studies of people whom Soth has encountered in small towns, suburbs, wilderness and national landscapes.

At a time when we are flooded with more photos than ever before, Soth uses his talents to gather the leaves of a disjoined reality into a single arresting collection.
