Invisible City presents a visual exploration of urban life through intimate, grainy black-and-white photographs that capture the overlooked moments and textures of the city. Ken Schles uses a raw and immediate photographic style to delve into themes of isolation and anonymity within urban environments.
The images evoke a moody atmosphere, emphasizing shadows, reflections, and fragmented compositions that suggest the complexity and hidden narratives of the city. The work resists straightforward depiction, instead inviting viewers to engage with the ambiguity and layered meanings of urban existence.
Published in 2015 and comprising 80 pages, Invisible City forms a concise yet potent meditation on the subtle and often invisible aspects of metropolitan life.
