A Pound of Pictures is a window into both our world and Soth’s process itself. In every photograph, there is what we see and what lies beneath. Much the same way, Soth answers our 50 questions with consideration, sincerity and just the right amount of playfulness.
“If you’re committed, you went all the way.”

A new exhibition at Sean Kelly Gallery brings together images photographer Alec Soth completed between 2018 and 2021. As is often his custom, Soth began A Pound of Pictures by taking a series of road trips, in this case on a quest to further explore a deeper connection between the ephemerality and physicality of photography as a medium. Depicting a vast array of subjects — from Buddhist statues and birdwatchers to sun-seekers and a bust of Abraham Lincoln — this series reflects on the photographic desire to pin down and crystallize experience, especially as it is represented and recollected by printed images.
Tema Stauffer’s photographs explore how the experience of going somewhere is shaped by your expectations of what you will find.

It is this kind of heftier noun which Tema Stauffer takes for her subject in “Southern Fiction,” a visual survey of the settings that shaped the imaginations of some of the last century’s most significant Southern writers. Stauffer’s pictures are not illustrations of particular literary works or portraits of individual writers but, rather, invocations of people and places, both real and imagined. Taken together, they capture the intellectual and aesthetic challenges posed by biography, but also by geography—and specifically by the American South.

There are different ways of being lost, and intention might be what makes all the difference. Often, when you say you’re lost, Tania Franco Klein tells me, “You’re actually feeling other things. You’re not actually lost. Maybe you’re feeling isolated, frustrated, anxious; that feeling comes from different places.” In her work, the Mexico City-based photographer searches out such places. She outlines a universe where they might live, begins to color it in, and during the process, finds she has arrived at some sort of destination. Being lost is sometimes the best way to find where you are going. “There’s something comforting about the acknowledgment of it,” agrees Franco Klein, “knowing you’re going somewhere, even if you don’t know where.”

Sandy Kim’s exhibition PSYCHOCANDY at HVW8 Gallery examines Kim’s month-long psychosis as it informs her photographic gaze and awareness of the ever chaotic and fragile balance of her personal and professional life. Through this sometimes fragmented and distorted lens, we find moments of family life and friendship filed amongst glimpses of high profile celebrity fueled commercial shoots; blended together, this mixture begs the question of what is truly real life and what is an illusion.

Parisian and New York street scenes, world events coverage, press and fashion photos, advertisements, portraits of artists: hardly a discipline seems to have eluded Sabine Weiss’s benevolent lens. The last representative of French humanist photography, whose work was exhibited at the Rencontres d’Arles last summer, died today at the age of 97. Blind republishes the profile that was dedicated to her on this occasion.

Almost four years ago, I was invited for Shabbat dinner at the Garelik family in Crown Heights, a Lubavitch, Jewish neighborhood in Brooklyn. I had just sat down at the table when Rabbi Yossi’s wife, Chani Garelik, took me aside and uttered to me a sentence straight from the Torah, “Col Cvuda Bat Melech Pnima,” which, translated, means “The pride of a Daughter of the King resides in the most secret depths of her soul.” She said to me that if I really wanted my photographs to speak about religious women, I first needed to understand this concept on my own.
