A critical part of Paris Photo Los Angeles was the educational component, organized by independent curator Douglas Fogle, and titled Sound and Vision. This program offered our visitors multiple intellectual perspectives on the use of images – both moving and still – in contemporary culture.
Bringing together two artists at a time in the Sherry Lansing Theater on the Paramount Studios lot, the Conversations could open a free wheeling discussion of the practice of image making whether it be in the realm of the expanded uses of the photographic image or in the world of film and video.
Each conversation was introduced by an international curator or critic who opened the talk with a conceptual meditation on the relationship between still and moving images in the history of art and cinema.

◇ Alec Soth with Andrei Codrescu - YouTube
Photographer Alec Soths lyric documentation of life along the Mississippi leaves his audience feeling as though they have just paged through a strange yet beautiful dream. Of the book Sleeping by the Mississippi, writer/NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu says, [He has] the decency (or affection) to disturb none of his subjects, through he disturbed me, a viewer, plenty. From their respective posts at either end of the waterway, Minneapolis-based Soth and New Orleansbased Codrescu come together for an illustrated conversation on the narratives found along the banks of the Mississippi and other stories of Americas Great River Road. The evening concludes with a presentation of Soths current pictorial investigation of Niagara Falls.

◇ Alec Soth – Summer Nights at the Dollar Tree on Vimeo
Alec Soth encountered Robert Adams’s 1985 monograph Summer Nights as a young photographer, and the book was, in his words, a “gateway drug” to the “harder stuff” in Adams’s body of work. When asked to participate in Aperture Remix, an exhibition for which artists were commissioned to create new work in response to Aperture publications that were influential in their artistic development, Soth chose Summer Nights.
This video is Soth’s response to Adams, and is featured in the Aperture Remix exhibition on view at Aperture Gallery through November 17.
