While these large-format color photographs are made all over the world, they aren’t about any particular place or population. By a process of intimate and often extended engagement, Soth’s portraits and images of his subject’s surroundings involve an enquiry into the extent to which a photographic likeness can depict more than the outer surface of an individual, and perhaps even plumb the depths of something unknowable about both the sitter and the photographer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e“After the publication of my last book about social life in America, \u003ci\u003eSongbook\u003c\/i\u003e, and a retrospective of my four, large scale American projects, \u003ci\u003eGathered Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e, I went through a long period of rethinking my creative process. For over a year I stopped traveling and photographing people. I barely took any pictures at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen I returned to photography, I wanted to strip the medium down to its primary elements. Rather than trying to make some sort of epic narrative about America, I wanted to simply spend time looking at other people and, hopefully, briefly glimpse their interior life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn order to try and access these lives, I made all of the photographs in interior spaces. While these rooms often exist in far-flung places, it’s only to emphasize that these pictures aren’t about any place in particular. Whether a picture is made in Odessa or Minneapolis, my goal was the same: to simply spend time in the presence of another beating heart.” – Alec Soth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45244832809017,"sku":"1-0088","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/IKnowHowIMG_9737.jpg?v=1765400182","url":"https:\/\/www.realmbooks.co\/products\/i-know-how-furiously","provider":"Realm Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
