Shane Rocheleau - Artist Post

Alec Soth




1)  Alec Soth is an artist from Minnesota.  He is known for photographing the absurd side of the American Dream.....ETC

2)  I chose these pictures because they seem to point at the underbelly of the American Love Industry.  The naked couple are never represented in Pornography.  The horse, a symbol of the great american cowboy and his thirst for westward expansion, is castrated.  The dream, hence, is as well.  In the final picture, a motel room with peeling wall paper and a tacky throw blanket, is decorated with heart shaped towels used, likely, hundreds of times over.

3)  I am a child of divorce and i think love stinks.
