Twelve years after the legendary success of his first book of photographs, Invisible City , Ken Schles returns with his long-awaited sophomore effort, The Geometry of Innocence . Schles's 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. The works in The Geometry of Innocence address and play upon the immediacy and relativity of meaning in the photographic image, creating a bold and highly nuanced artistic statement.

Seller's Description:
First edition, 2001. 128 pages. 208 illustrations, 94 in colour and 114 in duotone. Boards. Near fine in dustjacket. After the success of Invisible City, Ken Schles now presents his second book of photographs The Geometry of Innocence. With his photographs, Schles approaches the omnipresence of social structures, which-pushed by the flood of media images-are undergoing permanent, almost frantic change. He sends his viewers onto city streets and playgrounds, into pubs and bars, puts them into a police helicopter and takes them to death row, hospital rooms and police interventions. There is no story, only a breathless sequence of pictures condensed into thematic clusters that hold the viewer spellbound.
