William Eggleston in His Music Room, Memphis 2000
Alec Soth spricht von Interaktion in einer Begegnung und als Ergebnis dieser Begegnung das Foto als Dokument.

Alec Soth’s photograph of William Eggleston reminds me a lot of the kind of compositions often seen in Yasujiro Ozu movies. (I mention this in an attempt to be thematic, as I’ve recently referenced Ozu and posted a portrait of Eggleston.) Though I’m sure Eggleston’s Memphis home isn’t influenced by Japanese architecture, the altitude of the camera, the concentration on the floor, the door in the foreground, and the height of his keyboard evoke an Eastern feeling.
