INVISIBLE CITY - KEN SCHLES GEBUNDEN

For a decade  Ken Schles watched the passing of time from his Lower East Side neighbourhood.
His camera fixed the instances of his observations  and these moments became the foundation of
his invisible city. Friends and architecture come under the scrutiny of his lens and  when
sorted and viewed in the pages of this book  a remarkable achievement of personal vision
emerges. Twenty-five years later  Invisible City still has the ability to transfix the viewer.
A penetrating and intimate portrayal of a world few had entrance to - or means of egress from -
Invisible City stands alongside Brassai's Paris de Nuit and van der Elsken's Love On The Left
Bank as one of the 20th century's great depictions of nocturnal bohemian experience.
Documenting his life in New York City's East Village during its heyday in the tumultuous 1980s
Schles captured its look and attitude in delirious and dark verité. Long out of print  this
"missing link" in the history of the photographic book is now once again made available. Using
scans from the original negatives and Steidl's five plate technique to bring out nuance and
detail never seen before in print  this masterful edition transcends the original  bringing
this underground cult classic into the 21st century for a new generation to discover.
