Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Showgirl Bella stripping on stage at Safari Varieté Hamburg.

----------
All images in this series were taken as part of a reportage for which I was granted unrestricted access.

Here, for the first time, individual photos are offered as prints.

Founded in 1964 Safari Varieté offered not only striptease shows but also live sex acts on stage. The sex shows resembled stage plays with weird plots inevitably leading to a live sex act on stage somtimes performed by a whole bunch of actors at once. It was not uncommon even that brave spectators from the audience would join the stage action.

There where separate rooms where actors could be met by guests after the show for private entertainment sessions.

My time at this venue gave me insights into a hidden world full of hardship, sadness and despair with little hope left for the people living there.

The theatre closed its doors for good in 2014.
