Haunting nocturnal images of city streets juxtaposed with the people who inhabit them. They share an eerily disturbing quality which makes them seem meant for each other: A desolate place for a shadowy people. It is well-known that the photographs were taken in New York City and evoke Weegee's great work "Naked City" 1945. But there is no doubt that Schles also intends them to be seen as transcending their actual place and having a universal significance: As the intensely personal vision of an artist. His work seems to have haunted Ken Schles because it took him thirteen years - an eternity in our restless time - to produce his second collection "Geometry of Innocence" 2001. The latter looks outwardly where "Invisible City" was more inward-looking. "Stands alongside Brassai's 'Paris de Nuit' and van der Elsken's 'Love On The Left Bank' as one of the twentieth century's great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience" Gerhard Steidl. An absolute "must-have" title for Ken Schles collectors. This title is a great photography book.

Without DJ as issued. Presents in its Limited Edition format Ken Schles' "The Geometry of Innocence". His "philosophical" collection. There is something disturbing and uncompromising about each image by itself and in the context of the relentless whole. Schles' point is that we should not be distracted but instead be completely immersed. If "Invisible City" is inward-looking "The Geometry of Innocence" looks outward at the larger world and sees both good and bad cause for hope and reason for despair. Still the prevailing sentiment is dark and melancholy and as such is reminiscent of his debut collection. Schles also has a didactic purpose articulated in his Manifesto/Essay which is "must-reading" for anyone uncritically enamored of photography which includes many photographers and critics. While his essay is critical about photography Schles is obviously not against photography. Indeed the latter stance would be self-defeating because even the most subversive "anti-photographic" photograph can be easily coopted by the system to reinforce unjust social structures and feed a corrupt mass culture. Instead he is for a photography that somehow retains its subversive existential power and empowers people given the fact that "we are formed by a flawed society. Yet however boldly or tenuously we engage our lives we love we hate we struggle" Ken Schles. An absolute "must-have" title for Ken Schles collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition of 50 copies indicated/numbered as such on the Back Copyright Page.
