Clement Cheroux examines the complex intersection of Arthur Fellig’s tabloid aesthetic and the voyeuristic nature of mid-century urban existence. By analyzing Weegee’s transformation from a crime scene photographer into a self-conscious performer, this volume interrogates the blurred lines between objective documentation and the staged spectacles of New York City’s nocturnal underworld.
