Through the Lens of Desire
Friday, October 02 - 9:00AM to 10:00AM
Medallion C
In my creative work I live vicariously through unknown strangers, creating implied narratives using snapshots from the 1920s-1950s. Gay and lesbian couples of the era likely remained closeted and were seldom photographed together in an open and loving way. By selecting images that picture men together and women together I am creating an imaginary queer past. The images are works of fiction, where I project my own dreams onto unselfconscious moments from the past. I will address how this work resides in that tension between the past and present, between truth and fiction.
