In celebration of annual Pride month and in honor of National HIV/AIDS Long-Term Survivor Day (June 5th), SF Camerawork is proud to present the Long-Term Survivor Project. Taking place from June 4 - July 18, 2015, this is an exhibition and public programming series addressing the experiences of HIV survivorship in our society.
Hunter Reynolds creates large scale, photo-weavings of photographs and text testifying to the artist's experience as an HIV positive gay man living in the age of AIDS. From 1989 through 1993 Reynolds collected New York Times articles and headlines about the AIDS crisis, the obituaries of those consumed by the disease, and the growth of LGBT activist movements. In 2010 Reynolds revisited this collection and began scanning, arranging, and altering them to produce a series of photo-weavings resembling quilts or tapestries. SF Camerawork will be displaying 5 of the thirty-seven pieces in the series, each one 60' x 48." The photographs are overlaid with images from Reynolds earlier, performance-based Blood Spot series, in which the artist extracted his own blood and dripped it over paper.
