About Wimbledon, 2007
Alec Soths work is rooted in the American photographic tradition that Walker Evans famously termed documentary style. Concerned with the mythologies and oddities that proliferate Americas disconnected communities, Soth has an instinct for the relationship between narrative and metaphor. His clarity of voice has drawn many comparisons to literature, but he believes photography to be more fragmented; Its more like poetry than writing a novel.Polo Ralph Lauren-Cravate Club Wimbledon, 2007.
