Snapshots of Bogota from an unusual angle - Photographer Alec Soth observes - The Boston Globe
via boston.com
Mark Feeney for The Boston Globe "What attracts Soth is life, rather than liveliness. Almost all these pictures have living creatures in them: people, of course, but also dogs (lots of dogs), a rabbit, that turkey. That means what may be the most memorable image in the show is also the least typical. A circle of wire hangs coiled on a whitewashed wall. That’s it: bareness barely interrupted, starkness exalted. Geometry meets metallurgy, with ravishing results. Who knew an entrance to Plato’s cave could be found in Bogotá?"
