"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." (Publisher). With the Geometry of Innocence he succeeds in creating a bold and gritty inner city and prison picture book. Minor wear along edges of dustjacket.
