Born and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Alec Soth's (b. 1969) obsession with loneliness and isolation finds him traveling the world, one eye fixed on the interior landscapes of his subjects, the other on the often bleak physical surroundings they inhabit. From a barren dirt road in Georgia to a deserted parking lot at a suburban office park, Soth’s singular vision eludes categorization. He first drew the attention of the art world with SLEEPING BY THE MISSISSIPPI, published by Steidl in 2004 His photographs have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the Whitney and São Paulo Biennials, the Jeu de Paume in Paris, Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland, and a 2010 retrospective at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis. Other publications include NIAGARA (2006), FASHION MAGAZINE (2007) DOG DAYS, BOGOTÁ (2007) THE LAST DAYS OF W (2008), and BROKEN MANUAL (2010). In 2008, Soth launched his own publishing company, Little Brown Mushroom. He is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Gallery in Minneapolis, and is a member of Magnum Photos. Presented by the FOTOFOCUS 2012 Lecture Series. Photo: Alec Soth, Charles, Vasa, Minnesota, (detail), 2002, courtesy of the artist
