"Broken Manual", a photo book of American photographer Alec Soth. Soss has built his own style through a mix of personal documentaries and conceptual elements, while inheriting traditional American road-trip photography established by Robert Frank and Stephen Shore. "Sleeping by the Mississippi" "Niagara" In addition to the recent "Song Book", he has created numerous photo books from his own publishing label, and is the most noticeable photographer in the contemporary art photography world. This book is a masterpiece that made the name of Soss immovable. A documentary "Escape Manual" that follows the life of a "recluse" who deviates from the modern capitalist society. What is the reason why modern people want to be isolated from society? What is the specific escape method? In response to such questions, while describing through visuals (photographs) and texts (manuals), I try to convey the fact that in reality everyone wants to connect with society and eagerly want to communicate with people. It is a work with a strong message from the photographer. Published and popularized by Steidl in 2010.
