Fairytales 1991–1999 is New York-based artist Dietmar Busse’s first institutional exhibition in the US. The photographic essay laid out at 315 Maujer relays the explorative journeys the artist conducted shortly after arriving from Spain and traveling—predominantly by bike—from Brighton Beach via the Chelsea piers and Bryant Park to the Upper East Side and Harlem. En route from one place to another, on the street, at fashion shoots, or in domestic settings, Dietmar shot his Polaroids on the fly and in duplicate, leaving one copy with the portrayed figures and the other in his pocket. Produced during the 1990s and presented here for the first time, the photographs include idiosyncratic portraits of Amy Wesson, Kara Walker, Pedro Almodóvar, Philip Johnson, Rossy de Palma, Susan Cianciolo, Steve McQueen, Ultra Naté, and many others. Quiet, intimate, and emotional, Fairytales 1991–1999 captures the atmosphere of a bygone New York era.
