Lina Bertucci

Lina Bertucci (www.linabertucci.com) lives and works in New York. Her most recent photographic series explores the fluctuating periphery between exhibitionism and marginalization through the ritualized practice of tattooing. Her new series, Women in the Tattoo Subculture, was recently exhibited at the Perry Rubenstein Gallery. Bertucci has lectured at New York University, the International Center for Photography, The New School, and The School of Visual Arts. She received critical acclaim for her book Railroad Voices, published by Stanford University Press in 1998, an early photographic project documenting the gritty life of railroad workers where she worked as one of the first women hired as a break-man on the freight trains.
