PETER ROSS PHOTO SERIES: INSIDE WILLIAM BURROUGHS BUNKER

Gothamist tipped us off to a new photo project from Brooklynite photographer Peter Ross that examines the metaphysical aura of stuff with a series of photographs of  William Burroughs’ possessions. The series contains such iconic images as Burroughs walking sticks, hat and typewriter. All of which, are still sitting in his old apartment in NYC at the partially converted YMCA at 222 Bowery; the apartment which Burroughs affectionately dubbed “The Bunker”.  You can see more of  “The Bunker”,  on Flickr or watch this short film entitled William S. Burroughs “The Bunker” by Rattapallax.
