Night Scapes: Photographs Of The Night Published by Hatje Cantz. Edited by Katharina Menze. Essays by Susanne Borchard-Birenbaum, Katharina Menzel. Photographers include: Frank Darius, Eric Hattan, Dirk Konigsfeld, Miranda Lichtenstein, Nicolas Moulin, Ralf Peters, Clementine Roy, Yukara Shimizu, Byrd Williams. The lonesome nightly stroller, the dark side of the big city, and the new electric billboards were all subjects of early 20th-century photographers who tried to capture the special atmosphere of the night. Nearly a century later, as the nine contemporary photographers featured in Night Scapes demonstrate, the act of putting everyday architecture and landscapes into a nocturnal light retains its transformative charm.
