“Like many beginning photographers, I took some of my first pictures in cemeteries. But as my photography became more sophisticated, cemeteries joined railroad tracks, abandoned buildings, and sunsets on the list of forbidden clichés. Discussing this with my photographer friends Ed Panar and Melissa Catanese in Pittsburgh, Ed told me he still regularly photographs cemeteries. ‘Ed is so not cynical,’ Melissa said, ‘the idea that something is cliché just doesn’t occur to him. He doesn’t have a cynical gene in him.’ Ed is the single happiest photographer I’ve ever met. Wanting a little bit of that rub off on me, I asked him if he’d take me to a cemetery. It was nearly sunset, and he led me to a bluffside cemetery near his home. He pointed to a particular spot where he’s made a number of pictures. I couldn’t imagine photographing in the same spot. Everything was too spectacular. But after setting up my camera and looking through the ground glass, I realized why Ed was so happy.”
—Alec Soth
This special limited-edition print accompanies issue #247 of Aperture magazine, “Sleepwalking,” guest-edited by Alec Soth, which explores photography’s relationship to dreams, wakefulness, and chance. This issue features a broad and surprising array of images and stories, including a compelling conversation with the writer Siri Hustvedt about the references and connections that surface in Soth’s latest book, A Pound of Pictures, and the democratic possibilities of sleep.
Each print is signed by Alec Soth, and printed under the artist’s supervision by Laumont Editions in New York.
