While his meanderings through the Big Easy saw him piece together a playful dialogue of architectural gestures, cats, flora and street ephemera – all rendered in the almost impossibly vibrant hues unique to the famed city – his strolls through the German capital shimmer with a very different palette, syntax and philosophic hue. Here, deep foliage, fungus and soft, refracted European light assuage concrete, steel and geometrics – as if the grand themes of the picturesque and the sublime were shrunken to microcosmic proportions. But this sequence of images defies its individual referents; this is not a book about bike seats, brutalist buildings, leaves and ladybugs.

Amidst the golden light, greenery and oblique built environment of Berlin, Slack – led by little but the specificity of awareness – renders a world that is uniquely his own. From a sea of background noise, a quality of light and a sensibility of mind awaken us to moments bordering on reverie.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perimeter Editions x The Ice Plant","offers":[{"title":"Regular Edition","offer_id":42660230365255,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9091\/4631\/files\/WIP2_1000PX.jpg?v=1775103305","url":"https:\/\/perimeterdistribution.com\/products\/forthcoming-mike-slack-walking-in-place-2-berlin-second-edition","provider":"Perimeter Distribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
