Histoires urbaines de Julius Knipl, photographe

In Histoires urbaines de Julius Knipl, photographe, Ben Katchor’s singular vision—both writer and artist—captures the everyday poetry of a vanishing city through the wandering eye of a real-estate photographer. Originally serialized in the New York Press and later collected by Casterman in 2005, this ongoing series transforms mundane urban details into melancholic, whimsical narratives, cementing Katchor as a master of the comic strip as a form of architectural and social archaeology.
