From the NYC Village Halloween Parade, 1982–86.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eAn enormous, skeletal puppet looms over the crowd at the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in the mid-1980s, its ribcage-like structure composed of thin, bowed wooden supports. This black-and-white analog photograph, captured with a 35mm Pentax, highlights the intricate, web-like texture of the translucent fabric stretched across the creature's skull, which glows under the intensity of a portable commercial flash. The high-angle perspective, taken from a second-story window at 59 West Tenth Street, looks down on the masqueraders maneuvering the massive frame through the dark NYC night. Using classic Tri-X film, the scene is rendered with a gritty, high-contrast aesthetic that emphasizes the sharp lines of the puppet's jaw and the dense sea of spectators in the background. It is a striking example of the large-scale, artisanal puppetry that has become a hallmark of this annual New York City tradition, frozen in time on 35mm film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"20 x 16″ \/ GVHP B\u0026W on Epson Smooth 250grm","offer_id":41562246479943,"sku":"539735-29793078-508000-406000","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0602\/3240\/0967\/files\/Bad_Cat_GVHP_Sht_011_Frame_36A_sm_PREVIEW.jpg?v=1743196474","url":"https:\/\/scottlaperruque.myshopify.com\/products\/bad-cat-nyc-village-halloween-parade-1982-86","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
