Songbook — Alec Soth, 2015 (2021 reprint)

A quiet study of togetherness in an age of distance. Shot between 2012 and 2014 while adopting the role of a local newspaper reporter, these black-and-white photographs move from church basements to tech conventions, school dances to community fairs. Stripped of their original news captions, the images reveal a fragile choreography of American social life—awkward embraces, staged smiles, collective rituals.
