Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In an age where dating apps let you know which humans within a slim radius might want to have sex with you, the sexuality of the city is more potent than ever.
Bars are hook-up spots, subway systems are where eyes meet and doorways serve as make-out spots during drunken stumbles in the night.
It’s all veiled though, millions of citizens’ throbbing lust buried under traffic lights and newsstands and coffee chains.
Fashion photographer Nikola Tamindzic has sought to de-cloak it however, quite literally, in his new series Fucking New York.
Taking the phrase literally, it sees women in various throws of passion in public, writhing on fire hydrants and felating railings.
The series has a manicness to it reminiscent of American Psycho, and at times a sadness - isolated as the subjects are. It’s all set in New York, but could easily be any major city.
Following a lot of popularity and press coverage for the series, Tamindzic is now trying to turn the series into a 256-page coffee table book on Kickstarter, with input from adult performer Stoya, music critic Sasha Frere-Jones and activist Molly Crabapple.
Fucking New York echoes Naked in New York, another photographer’s exploration of her city naked which asks: ‘Why do we actually need clothes?’
