Description
"Langer follows the tradition of the flâneur-photographer. His images are, as he puts it, the product of 'walking the streets alone as a stranger in a strange land.' To shadow Langer on his walks is to visit the haunts of amusement parks, lonely bars, nighttime streets and alleys, beautiful women and their chaperones, gardens, hotels, and supper clubs. Both the still life and the intimate figure study are frequent objects of his quiet gaze. Regardless of their subject, Langer's images return us to a place where what happens in front of the lens is unanticipated and distinctly photographic"--Publisher's description.

    Secret city

    Rare Books

    "Jason Langer's first monograph is a journey through damp-lit streets of anonymous cities, an experience that could be frightening--alone, in the dark--but is here infused with poetic sensibility and intrigue ... The beauty and romanticism are a lure, asking questions and probing one's psyche. There is a strong feeling that Langer finds adventure exploring a side of the world that many would choose to avoid: a world of shadows and portents, where he openly faces and challenges the powers of the night. In 'Secret City', the viewer can choose to travel with him as he guides us to our own underworld, or be content with looking over his shoulder. Either way, these pictures are a reminder of the place within ourselves that is solitary, private and has a touch of fearlessness and yearning"--Publisher's description.
