The title of the exhibition comes from Walt Whitman's poem 1855 "Song of Myself" and references both the pages of his books gathered for consideration, and the notion that his work is also a story about Soth himself. This catalogue is a special object, bringing together an essay by Aaron Schuman spread across twenty-nine large format postcards, an additional card printed with an introduction by Kate Bush - curator of the exhibition and the director of Media Space, London, with mini facsimile versions of Soth's "Sleeping by the Mississippi", "Niagara", "Broken Manual", and "Songbook".
