Disappearing Completely

.
Attention New Yorkers:


This coming Monday, May 9th, Parsons and the Aperture Foundation will present a screening of Somewhere to Disappear, a documentary by Laure Flammarion and Arnaud Uyttenhove (oh, them) on photographer Alec Soth's "Broken Manual" project, for which he cris-crossed the country in search of people who have retreated from society (trailer above). Soth will be there to answer questions after the screening. Go here for info.

Alec Soth made a name for himself by photographing people and places up and down the banks of the Mississippi. He's now experimenting with different formats and ways of telling stories with his work, which he discusses in this short feature.
