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 like Charles, a model-plane buff in Vasa, Minnesota. Selections from the exhibition will move to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in March, joining some of Soth's other recent work. Wherever you can see them, his photos aren't to be missed...
