New Burlesque

"New Burlesque thus functions as a system of subverting modernist codes. Katharina Bosse fully indexes this inversion process: her photographs invite us to penetrate into the heart of a space that she interposes between reality and re-presentation, between the presence of the incarnated subject and the projection of fantasies." The photographs presented here are the result of the photographer's trip across the United States to meet and document every proponent of this unabashed renaissance: a color-photograph colorful series of let-it-all-hang-out portraits of the likes of Vivienne Va-Voom, Dirty Martini, Kitten DeVille, Honey Tocuhe, and others. 86p.
