Peter Granser
Peter Granser’s witty photographs from his Coney Island project capture the special, morbid charm of dilapidated American amusement parks. The colorful impressions of sweaty beach bums and sailors in drag, shabby snack bars, and rusty roller coasters give a sympathetic view of vaudeville splendor gone seedy.
The photograph Granser has selected for our collector’s edition shows a recruiting station: a rundown, wooden shack that seems woefully out of place next to the optimistic colors of a hamburger chain. Granser’s ironic sideswipe at American patriotism and daily life is exquisitely condensed in this wonderful photograph.
