Alec Soth's photobook "Looking for Love" (1996), including his series of photographs of the same name, looks back to the moment of beginning, to the moment when everything is still open and exciting, when everything gently falls into place. It is the beginning phase, which forms the basis not only of a new love, but also of every new photographic project. It is a book about searching, about the curious and intuitive approach to people and their stories. About falling in love with a medium that opens the door to worlds that would otherwise remain hidden, intense and unsettling like an endless night in a bar.
