《一磅照片》是对摄影媒体的意识流庆祝活动，汇集了亚历克·索斯(Alec Soth)在2018年至2021年之间创作的新作品。书中描绘了大量的主题——从佛教雕像到观鸟者，从日光浴者到亚伯拉罕·林肯的半身像——这本书反映了一种摄影的欲望，即把经验具体化，尤其是当它通过印刷图像来表现和回忆的时候。在这个折衷的序列中，有反复出现的图像、纪念品，以及日复一日围绕在我们周围的图像制造者。这是一段曲折、沉思的公路旅行，索斯的照片之后是他自己的笔记和反思。他写道:“如果这本书里的图片不是关于它们闪闪发光的表面，而是关于它们自己制作的过程。”它们是关于进入一个令人心醉神迷的特定世界，并在短暂的(光、时间)和物质(眼球、电影)之间建立联系。
