Publications
The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death (Monacelli Press, 2004).[2] is a book of photography and prose about the crime scene dioramas created by the amateur criminologist and heiress Frances Glessner Lee.[3] Lucy Sante wrote of the book "The Nutshell dioramas are compelling, a bit disturbing, and engagingly weird—it never previously seemed possible to use the words 'forensic' and 'cute' in the same sentence. Corinne May Botz has done a grand job both in exposing them to a nonspecialist public and in photographing them with such fanatical verisimilitude."
Haunted Houses (Monacelli Press, 2010).[4] is a collection of photographs and accompanying oral narratives from eighty allegedly haunted houses.[5] By presenting images of empty spaces, Botz allows viewers to see the reality of living with "a ghost in the house."
Video work
Bedside Manner (2016) focuses on real-life standardized patient simulations to explore the performative aspect of doctor-patient encounters and issues concerning empathy.[6] It features the neurologist and author Alice Flaherty, as her role shifts from standardized patient to real patient to doctor. It won the 2016 Grand Jury Prize for Best Short, DOC NYC, Oscar-qualifying.[7]
Milk Factory (2021),[8] looks at the labor involved in infant care. It was filmed primarily in the bipartisan lactation room of the US House of Representatives, the very place where laws are decided regarding parental policies and reproductive rights. The film was released during the COVID pandemic, during which the inadequacy of support for working mothers created a worldwide crisis. It won first prize in Pictures of the Year International, Documentary Daily Life Category.[9]
