ALEC SOTH: SLEEPING BY THE MISSISSIPPI Comprising portraits, landscapes, and intimate interiors, SLEEPING BY THE MISSISSIPPI is a series of powerful large-scale photographic works by US artist Alec Soth. Using the Mississippi River as his guide, Soth spent five years photographing the individual lives and communities along the way from his hometown in Minnesota to the furthest reaches of Louisiana. Following in the tradition of such documentarians as Robert Frank, William Eggleston, and Steven Shore, Soth customizes and updates the genre for the 21st century with his own unique contribution. The resulting images of people, gas stations, churches, and various abodes resonate with profound intensity that tugs at the viewer's emotional and intellectual core. LISE SARFATI: AMERICAN SERIES AMERICAN SERIES is a slide-loop presentation by French/Algerian artist Lise Sarfati, depicting the inner lives of American youths taken during her travels in Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Oregon, and California during 2002-2003. Sarfati found her subjects in the ordinary environments of contemporary life—shopping malls, schools, and on the street. These images, saturated with color and longing, show young people in their boredom, frustrated search for meaning, and wanton malaise. In this series, Sarfati examines two elusive but ubiquitous ideas—adolescence and suburbia—as they converge in compelling ways. JONATHAN HOLLINGSWORTH Jonathan Hollingsworth's WHAT WE THINK NOW charts young people's responses to the U.S. involvement in Iraq through a series of color photographs that engage in frank social discourse and employ arresting compositional strategies, ultimately revealing a striking diversity of viewpoints on the current political situation.
