At Night

(2) PS This Austrian import makes something gentle and quizzical of night as a young boy falls asleep. In a series of spreads, eight animals sleep in their rightful places; ninth is Manu, the boy. Flipping the book over offers another, more abstract picture as Manu dreams: the animals switch places. Bansch's atmospheric images, saturated with rich color, layer scratchy portraits atop collages of newsprint and tissue.
