Very excited to announce that I will be curating my first show next week as part of Greenpoint Open Studios.

Young, free and smartphone-less: Laura June Kirsch's book “Romantic Lowlife Fantasies” captures nightlife at its rawest.

Thank you @vicemag for interviewing me about my book Romantic Lowlife Fantasies !

Vice was the first magazine to interview me about my photography back in 2010 (and how my sister and I "borrowed" a child mannequin we were obsessed with from a local tuxedo shop to take to my Grandmother's birthday party). What a cool full circle moment to talk to them again 13 years later as we've both evolved. Swipe through for highlights and headlines from now and then

About this book:

"Romantic Lowlife Fantasies: Emerging Adults In The Age Of Hope" is the first published monograph by Canon award winning photographer Laura June Kirsch. Featuring over 85 original images, the book is a photo exploration of millennials in subcultures during the Obama era. Co-edited by Kirsch and Juxtapoz Editor-in-chief Evan Pricco, the collection examines an era of hopeful hedonism for a generation that came of age between 9/11 and a recession that put the traditional American Dream just out of reach. Featuring an introduction by Pricco and original essays by Darlene “Dee Nasty” Demorizi (comedian, actress and VICE personality), Allyson Toy (DJ Toy), Caitlin McGarry (an astrologist and wellness coach also known as Tarotgraph), Jessica Amodeo (NYU MFA Writing Alum) and a poem by Brooke Burt (NYU MFA writing Alum, formerly House Of Vans). Co designed by Laura June Kirsch and Patrick Carrie.
