Project B: Bottoms Up!

Call it slapstick humor or just plain funny, looking at an old photo of someone bending over makes us laugh! Sometimes people are playing to the camera and other times their backside is caught unaware. Here are 12 vintage photos showing laugh out loud funny rear views.


Bottoms Up is the first in a series of mini exhibits curated by Project B in collaboration with Catherine Couturier Gallery.

Project B is dedicated to discovering, preserving, and enlivening exceptional vintage photography, artifacts and ephemera, using our archive as the basis of new work that explores the mysterious power of the anonymous photograph to transcend time and speak to contemporary questions and sensibilities.

The exhibit opens in the gallery on May 21st and all the vintage photos are framed and ready to enliven your walls!
