Summer Nights at the Dollar Tree (2012)
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 film is Soth’s response to Adams, and was featured in the 2012 Aperture Remix exhibition at Aperture Gallery.
