Katharina Bosse's New Burlesque and Days of War, Nights of Love in New York
Photographer Katharina Bosse spent two years traveling across the United States documenting the burlesque scene, resulting in the series New Burlesque. The forty images portray women at the intersection of kitsch and parody, both wounded and touching. In New York, the group exhibition Days of War, Nights of Love presents an American empire on the verge of collapse, exploring the American dream tipping into unease between nauseating kitsch and total alienation.
