BOLD/GOLD

American Circus

America is a country of excess.

Everything is bigger, everything is more.

There is freedom, there are colors and a lot of madness.

"Bold/Gold" explores the theatre of life in New York as an investigation into how people present themselves in public spaces and how they are perceived. It is a research of exhibitionism in daily life and an exploration of the excess and the oddities of the American society.

Combining a documentary and a street photography approach, the project weaves through the streets, Bar Mitzvahs, birthday parties, burlesque performances, parades and the other spectacles that shape the visual experience in American life.
