"Strip-Tease Forain" by Susan Meiselas
"Strip-Tease Forain" is a photographic work by Susan Meiselas, published by Chêne éditions. This book documents, through black-and-white images, the world of itinerant strip-tease shows at American fairgrounds in the 1970s.

Context and content
Susan Meiselas, an American documentary photographer, is known for immersive work on communities and environments often little known. In this project, she followed and photographed the dancers, the backstage areas, and the audience of these fairground shows, providing a visual testimony that is both sociological and artistic.

Photographic style
The images are often captured on the fly, conveying the raw atmosphere and the interaction between performers and spectators. The work is distinguished by a humanistic approach and attention to detail, while remaining faithful to the realities on the ground.

Two pages are detached from the set, but not damaged. The soft cover is fragile by nature....
