Synopsis
In an intimate style, "Inside: The Chelsea Hotel" documents not only the archetypes and atmosphere in, but also echoes from the spirits and ghosts of, the inimitable Chelsea Hotel. The Chelsea Hotel is a place where excess is welcome, where the psyche can be annihilated or resurrected. It has a magical potential for transformation, whether through rebirth or destruction. Artists such as Mark Twain, Edith Piaf, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jasper Johns, Jack Kerouac, Wilhelm de Kooning, Leonard Cohen, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Ethan Hawke have been drawn "inside" by a seemingly irresistible magnetic force. Julia Calfee has lived and photographed in the Chelsea Hotel for four years. "When I photographed at the Chelsea Hotel, I would stay in a space or situation for hours. Time would pass and my presence would become less and less visible. Sometimes I would even disappear." "People are always asking me what it's like to live in the Chelsea Hotel. Not always easy. There are times I felt like a fly caught in a spider's web, at risk of being eaten alive if I made the wrong move. This goes with living and working in the same place with a large extended, temperamental family full of artistic sensitivities and colossal egos, with long, exposed nerve ends--but there were also many moments of friendship, generosity, and complicity.", The Chelsea Hotel is a place where excess is welcome, where the psyche can be annihilated or resurrected. It has a magical potential for transformation, whether it is rebirth or destruction. Artists such as Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Ethan Hawke and Mark Twain have been drawn inside by a seemingly irresistible magnetic force - some even say there is a mystical spirit that beckons people in. Published in conjunction with the hotel's 125th anniversary, Inside documents the day-to-day eccentric lives of the residents of the Chelsea Hotel., An intimate photographic tour of the Chelsea Hotel - a place where excess is encouraged. Published in conjunction with the hotel's 125th anniversary.
