EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant streets of New York City in September 1983. The image captures a unique aspect of the city's nightlife, showcasing clubs and movie houses that were an integral part of its cultural fabric during the 20th century. Among them, Le Trapeze stands out as a symbol of liberation and exploration. Le Trapeze, depicted in this photograph, was known as a swingers club - a place where individuals could freely express their desires and embrace alternative lifestyles. It represents an era when sexual freedom was being embraced by many Americans who sought to challenge societal norms. The street scene captured here is filled with energy and intrigue. People walk past neon-lit signs advertising various establishments, creating an atmosphere that is both alluring and mysterious. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the diverse tapestry of New York City's social scene at that time. Photographer Peter Carrette skillfully frames this moment in history, allowing viewers to reflect on how society has evolved since then. While some may view it as controversial or taboo subject matter, it serves as a reminder that cities like New York have always been spaces for self-expression and experimentation. Memory Lane Prints allows us to travel back in time through these evocative images, reminding us of the rich history embedded within our urban landscapes.
