<![CDATA[CANCELLED: Haunted Houses By Corinne May Botz]]> http://www.nycgovparks.org/events/2012/11/07/haunted-houses-by-corinne-may-botz http://www.nycgovparks.org/events/2012/11/07/haunted-houses-by-corinne-may-botz Date: November 7, 2012

Please note: this event has been cancelled.

For more than ten years, the Corinne May Botz searched for ghost stories in buildings across the United States. She ventured into these haunted places with both camera and tape recorder in hand; her photographs, accompanied by first-person narratives, reveal a rare glimpse into American interiors, both physical and psychological.

She says, “The first thing that inspired the project were writers like Edith Wharton, Charlotte Bronte and even Toni Morrison. Often these ghost stories were written by women as a means of articulating domestic discontents. I was interested in the idea of a woman being trapped in the home or by domestic space and how this was expressed in history."
