Published 2011 by Punctum Press for the Fotografia Festival of Roma, bought at Le Bal books, when Sebastian and Sara came back from Italy

Pineapples in a photobook ? Yes.

Mmmm

Alec Soth got commissioned by the Festival to produce a work on the city of Rome. He has decided to remake the picture “An American girl in Roma” by Ruth Orkin.

And he added some pineapples.

This is a strange book. My first reading was not really positive, quite dubitative

But the more you look at the book, the more you like the work.
