Inspired by his bizarre encounters with the odd and the unusual in Asbury Park, New Jersey, made famous by Bruce Springsteen, Mermelstein vigorously prowled the streets of New York City in the mid-1980s, snapping up scenes of vivid colour, glitz, artifice and unrelenting ugliness. Attracted to the surreal and outlandish, including everything from dog shows to grand openings of malls, Mermelstein took his project across the decades and across the country, resulting in this bizarre catalogue of the wacky, quirky, oddly lyrical sights of America. 75 full-colour photos.
