Bettina Flitner Prostitution—Johns, Women, Places

Bettina Flitner’s conceptual photo essays on social and cultural issues are a constant source of lively debate. She has been researching the topic of prostitution since 1992, traveling to cities in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Thailand. In this book, she brings together three of her most important works. Johns, shot in the large brothel Paradise in Stuttgart in 2013, presents expressive portraits of the brothel’s patrons and captures surprisingly candid answers about their motivations. In contrast, a 2014 photo essay offers deep insights into the lives of women on the notorious European route E 55, the »longest street prostitution route in Europe«. Both works have been exhibited and awarded several times internationally. The third part of the book focuses on the ordinary places of prostitution—from a Cologne brothel to so-called »appointment apartments« and the functional »service boxes«.
