KEN SCHLES: "Invisible City" (1988)

Bar (8B.C., 1984) 1.jpg

The images in Invisible City are dark and grainy. They are all black and white, and it is the black and white that does not forgive, that doesn’t console the absence of color with sharply delineated form. Schles’ pictures turn, page after page, in mesmerizing succession, and though the pictures do not tell a particular story, they form an intense narrative each one contextualizing the image that came before and that comes after.
