Le Feuilletage #9 | King, Queen, Knave with Gregory Halpern

For more than twenty Yyears, Gregory Halpern has been photographing his hometown of Buffalo, New York, and the surrounding area, meticulously crafting the series of photographs that make up his latest monograph. King, Queen, Knave is an enigmatic, almost surreal vision of a city full of contradictions, bucking the familiar narratives of post-industrial decline.

With King, Queen, Knave, Halpern confronts the complexities of contemporary America more generally, interweaving ugliness and beauty, despair and redemption. This lyrical new work bears witness to the infinite complexity of a place both familiar and unknown.

Meeting in english followed by a signing session.
