King, Queen, Knave is an idiosyncratic vision of a city amidst its contradictions, defying familiar narratives of post-industrial decline and embracing an enigmatic strain of reality verging on surrealism. Halpern’s mesmerising sequence unfurls as a stage across which distinct and unpredictable characters appear in and amongst solitary buildings, snowdrifts, and sun-bleached scenes of everyday transcendence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images often locate their subjects within the specificities of the season and balance a historical project with the immediacy of a moment in its individual radiance. Embracing themes of reversal and ascension, Halpern confronts the complexities of his birthplace and of contemporary America at large, seeing beauty intertwined with ugliness and redemption with despair. This lyrical new work is testament to the endless complexity of a place at once familiar and unknown.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50817400045909,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/0849\/1861\/files\/GREGORY_HALPERN_KING_QUEEN_KNAVE_MACK_BOOK_PARADIS_1.jpg?v=1751757068","url":"https:\/\/paradis-superstore.com\/products\/king-queen-knave","provider":"Paradis Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
