For many women, the bathroom is the most intimate of spaces. It is
the place where we encounter ourselves in the mirror each morning
and every night, getting ready to face the day, or recede from it.
THE BATHROOM CHRONICLES is a beautiful, chic, touching, and deeply
feminine collection of photos and accompanying short stories
(sometimes no more than a sentence or two) by women about their
private spaces and most cherished possessions. Lena Dunham reveals
the corner by the sink where she keeps her favorite pieces of
jewelry, as well as her birth control. Erica Jong snaps her poodles
and insists that they love her powder room and to "fluff up their
hair" in front of the mirrors. Roz Chast reflects on a shelf in the
corner that she purchased from a second-hand store. It's decorated
with birds, because she loves birds, and a tiny emu that was given
to her by a friend when she was in Australia. Like the bathrooms
themselves each of these stories and images is unique--open,
private, minimalistic, messy, and beautiful.
