New Book: Jet Lag

NYC105343

Jet Lag, deals with the ultimate in disconnection—from spouse, family, nation, time, and earth itself. In these succinct black-and-white images of globalized disconnect, reality is less touchstone than distraction: The important space is “between.” Planes and hotel beds and flickering screens provide the only continuity; jet lag is a way of life. Since the birth of a daughter and a son, Chang has traveled less frequently, but his phone is still too often on airplane mode.
