OPappband, SU. 132 S. : überw. Illustrationen ; 35 cm Buch in sehr guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber und unbestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Buchblock fest und kompakt, Schutzumschlag sehr gut, Twelve years after his legendary first book, Invisible City, the American photographer Ken Schles presents a second book of photographs, The Geometry of Innocence. With these images, Schles focuses on omnipresent social structures, which - pushed by the flood of media images - are undergoing permanent, almost frantic change. This visual roller coaster sends his viewers onto city streets and playgrounds and into clubs and bars, puts them in police helicopters, and takes them to Death Row, hospital rooms and militarized zones. There is no story per se, only a breathless sequence of images condensed into thematic clusters - a highly intense visual experience that viscerally grabs viewers and holds them spell-bound. Conscious that the meaning of the photographic image is relative, Ken Schles explores the role images play in forming our perceptions of the world. With The Geometry of Innocence, he succeeds in creating a bold, highly sophisticated picture book. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 1620.

From the publisher: "Twelve years after the legendary success of his first book of photographs, Invisible City, Ken Schles returns with his long-awaited project, The Geometry of Innocence. Schles' focus is on the relentless shifting of social structures and spaces that mark the urban landscape of today. His images form a kind of visual roller coaster, sending the viewer onto city streets and playgrounds, into pubs and bars, putting the viewer inside a police helicopter and taking them to death row, hospital rooms, and police interventions. While there is no story per se, this breathless sequence of pictures is condensed into thematic clusters, providing a spellbinding and almost physically palpable experience." Signed by Author.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 128 pages. Published in 2001. Retrospective collection of photographs. Now considered a contemporary art photography classic. Limited Slipcased Edition of 50 numbered and signed copies. Precedes and should not be confused with the regular trade edition. They have the same ISBN. The Limited Edition is now rare. A brilliant production by Ken Schles: Oversize-volume format. Black cloth boards with black titles embossed on the spine, as issued. Photographs and Manifesto/Essay by Ken Schles. The title comes from the lyrics of Bob Dylan's "Tombstone Blues". Text fragments by Franz Kafka, Ralph Ellison, Walter Lippmann, and Italo Calvino. Original 8 X 10 inch photographic print matted, framed, and laid into its own black cloth folder. Matching black cloth slipcase. Printed on glossy stock paper in Germany to the highest standards. 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. It comes with an 8 X 10 inch original photographic print that is very prominently and beautifully numbered, titled, and signed in pencil on verso by the photographer: "Ken Schles The End of the World From The Geometry of Innocence 43/50". This title is a contemporary art photography classic. This is one of few copies of the Limited Edition still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, which are publisher's flaws rather than caused by handling or use. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A rare signed copy thus. 106 color, 87 duotone plates, 1 original print. One of the most brilliant photographers of our time. A fine collectible copy.

Twelve years after this initial success, the American photographer Ken Schles now presents his second book of photographs - The Geometry of Innocence.
