...show at Tate Modern on London's South Bank, "Time Zones: Recent Film and Video" (through Jan. 2.), draws from the best international artists, all exploring the concept of time. In Untitled (Bangkok), Serb Bojan Sarcevic walks the alleys of the Thai capital, showing that the journey, not the arrival, matters. In Indonesia-born Fiona Tan's Rain, two blue plastic buckets never quite get filled by a monsoon. It's a symbol of futility, like emptying the sea with a cup, yet a soothing, contemplative one.

...life in 1951 as he embarks with his compatriot, Alberto Granado (Rodrigo de la Serna) on his travels—powered, initially, by the namesake motorcycle, of course—bound for the southern tip of South America.

But Sleeping by the Mississippi is less about the river than the spirit of wandering. This is classic American road-trip photography that captures the tender frailties of ordinary people living ordinary lives. Selections from the exhibition will move to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts next March, joining some of Soth's other recent work. Wherever you can see them, his photos are not to be missed...
