Es sind zuf\u00e4llig eingelegte Reproduktionen echter Familienfotos, die Alec Soth gr\u00f6\u00dftenteils auf Flohm\u00e4rkten gefunden hat. In Los Angeles habe er gar eine Frau getroffen, die solche alten Fotos nach Gewicht verkauft h\u00e4tte (daher der Titel des Buches) und immer wieder tauchen Bilder auf, die gro\u00dfe Mengen an alten Fotografien zeigen: Entweder ausgebreitet auf einem Motel-Bett, zu Hause bei einem Ebay-H\u00e4ndler oder versteckt in alten Fotokartons werden sie Teil seines eigenen Bilderkosmos.<\/p>\n<p>Und so entwickelt sich &#8222;A Pound of Pictures&#8220; vom Roadtrip durch die USA zur Reise durch die Fotografie. Bereits das Cover stellt die Frage nach der Verbalisierung und sinnvollen Archivierung von Fotos in Form von Stichworten und Hashtags und immer wieder f\u00e4hrt Soth an Orte fr\u00fcherer Begegnungen oder auch aus der Fotografiegeschichte wie den Friedhof in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, den bereits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/?s=Walker+Evans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walker Evans<\/a> 1935 und 50 Jahre sp\u00e4ter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/walker-evans-in-der-sk-stiftung-kultur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bernd und Hilla Becher<\/a> fotografiert haben.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\">Oft sind es ruhige, poetische Bilder, die ihre Besonderheit erst auf den zweiten Blick preisgeben und die wie kleine Haikus wirken. Zu den meisten gibt es kurze Bildzeilen, die sich aber nicht neben den Bildern aufdr\u00e4ngen, sondern die am Ende aufgef\u00fchrt werden. Blo\u00df ein h\u00fcbsches Coffee Table Book ist &#8222;A Pound of Pictures&#8220; mit Sicherheit nicht. Es verlangt, dass man sich mit ihm besch\u00e4ftigt. Doch wer dies tut, dem sind viele Entdeckungen und Gedanken Soth&#8216; sicher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"left\">Meine Besprechung des Buches ist im K\u00f6lner Stadt-Anzeiger erschienen und <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/A-Pound-of-Pictures-Ksta.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gibt es hier ist PDF<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alecsoth.com\/photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alec Soth<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mackbooks.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MACK Books<\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-23461 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23466\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures-400x340.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures-177x150.jpg 177w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures-768x652.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/APoundofPictures-210x178.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23466'>\n\t\t\t\tCover von &#8222;A Pound of Pictures&#8220; von Alec Soth\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-bear-lake-minnesota-32x40-1-scaled-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-23470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-bear-lake-minnesota-32x40-1-scaled-1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-bear-lake-minnesota-32x40-1-scaled-1-320x400.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-bear-lake-minnesota-32x40-1-scaled-1-120x150.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.damianzimmermann.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/white-bear-lake-minnesota-32x40-1-scaled-1-210x263.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-23470'>\n\t\t\t\t Alec Soth, \u2018White Bear Lake, Minnesota\u2019, from A Pound \nof Pictures (MACK, 2022).
