The aggressive unveiling of our world is the painful experience we undergo when viewing the works of single-named photographer, Boogie.
The follow up to his well-received “It’s All Good”, Boogie’s self-titled second monograph forces us see things we don’t want to see, and accept things we don’t even want to acknowledge. Born in Belgrade, Boogie taught himself photography by capturing the ravaging Serbian civil war in the 1990’s. He came to Brooklyn in 1998 when he won a green card in the national lottery, and has continued to explore the oft-ignored underworld and its tragic inhabitants through his photography.
“Boogie” is a limited edition of 500 signed and numbered copies that is being celebrated at the powerHouse Arena this month. Photos from the book are on display, and on March 20th powerHouse is hosting an artist reception. The pictures are culled from Boogie’s archive and represent his mission of unveiling everyday life by showing us gangsters, crackheads, skinheads, and ourselves. The pictures are personal for him, and personal for all of us.
