Summary: You've never seen images anything like these...
Review: You've never seen images anything like these...it's hard to find the words to describe them, so I'll try for just one: A boy in black and red with flowing gold "wings" is striding joyfully along a road bordered by a corrugated iron fence, but he has risen above that impoverished world on his stilts, and is profiled by the magic of a purple sky. The reader finds herself examining the book again and again, seeing more that she saw the last time in these pages of shocking color and surreal shapes. The book is the result of seven years' work on the part of photographer Stefan Falke, and the love of the photographer for his subject shows on every page.
