Somewhere to Disappear

Following unique people across America who've retreated from society

For his project, «Broken Manual» the photographer Alec Soth traveled across America looking for people who've retreated from society. Some live in mountain cabins, some in caves, others in the desert. It is through Alec's eyes that we try to understand why those modern hermits want to escape. The photographer shows us a new fantasy, the dream to disappear.
