Alec Soth in "Somewhere to Disappear"

To coincide with the opening of the "Broken Manual" exhibition at the Loock Galerie (Halle am Wasser, Invalidenstraße 50/51, loock-galerie.de), which comprises photographs by Alec Soth, we will be screening SOMEWHERE TO DISAPPEAR (F 2010), a film which shows the American photographer at work. Filmmakers Laure Flammarion and Arnaud Uyttenhove follow him on a journey of over 30,000 kilometers right across the USA. For his "Broken Manual" project, he went looking for people who have decided to turn their back on society and live in solitude, whether in wooden huts in the mountains, in caves or even in the desert. Alec Soth uses a large-format camera to take photographic portraits of them. A film about men, America, Alex Soth and the dream of just disappearing. (June 10)
