Go see the show in Science Museum’s Media Space soon – it closes next 28 March! Here’s a short presentation: “Like many great photographers and writers from the American canon – such as Robert Frank, Stephen Shore and Joel Sternfeld – Alec Soth takes the open road as his subject, but brings to it his own unique and modern twist. Through haunting, intimate portraits, desolate landscapes and wide open wildernesses, his work captures a profound sense of what it is to be human. Tenderness, joy, disappointment, fear or pride – his striking portraits capture the rawness of human emotion and the tension between our conflicting desires for individualism and community.

This exhibition presents his four signature series – Sleeping by the Mississippi (2004), Niagara (2006), Broken Manual (2010) and the most recent, Songbook (2014) – and highlights his remarkable career and distinctive vision.
