Printed linen embossed hardback, 28 x 27.5 cm, 120 pages


Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Sleeping by the Mississippi captures America’s iconic yet often neglected ‘third coast’. Soth’s richly descriptive, large-format color photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, Sleeping by the Mississippi elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie. 

The Mississippi is less the subject of the book than its organizing structure. Not bound by a rigid concept or ideology, the series is created out of a quintessentially American spirit of wanderlust.
