Pacifico Silano: After Silence
June 28 – July 27, 2018
“In After Silence, Pacifico Silano presents a new series of photographs, which evoke the emotional and physical voids felt as a result of the AIDS epidemic.
Through fragmenting, obscuring, layering, reassembling, and re-photographing, Silano recontextualizes gay erotica from the 1970’s pre-AIDS era, such as the Richard Marshall Collection of Gay Pornography at NYU’s Fales Library. The images found within the Disco-era magazines such as Blueboy, Honcho, and Drummer, are saturated with innocence and naiveté; euphoric colors; and an aura of total liberation.
Today, we access this archive with the knowledge of the devastation experienced by this community and an entire generation.
After Silence considers complex issues and quiet meditations on queer ephemera, identity, and our evolving relationship to the archive.”
