Places, strange and quiet brings together a selection of more than 40 photographs created during the acclaimed film director's travels. Included are images captured while on location scouts for films such as Paris, Texas, Don't Come Knocking and Until the End of the World. The photographs are accompanied by small, haiku-like texts written by Wenders, This second edition of the book also includes a new essay by Wenders on digital photography. Produced in a relatively small format, the book is wrapped in a cut-short dust jacket and includes a number of fold-outs reproducing several of Wenders‘ epic panoramic works.
