The Magazine of Photography and Ideas.
This edition of Aperture presents a mix of new photographic work exploring questions of queer identity, as well as past figures and projects that are the subject of new research and curatorial work.
In the Words section, Critic Vince Aletti, art historian Richard Meyer, and photographer Catherine Opie reflect on the term queer and its relationship with photography; Hal Fischer discusses his project Gay Semiotics with Julia Bryan-Wilson; Sophie Hackett revisits Joan E. Birenās seminal āDyke Showā; Shannon Michael Cane on queer independent publishing and zine culture; Philip Gefter on his discovery of Sam Wagstaffās never-before-seen photography and what it reveals about his storied relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe; and South African photographer Zanele Muholi speaks with Deborah Willis about her ongoing project to make her countryās LGBTQ community visible.
The Pictures section features William J. Simmons on Jimmy DeSanaās work from the late 1970s; Senam Okudzeto on Lyle Ashton Harrisās projects addressing colonial history and homophobia in Ghana; Stephanie H. Tung on Ren Hang, a rising star of contemporary Chinese photography who creates provocative imagery; Kevin Moore on the queer dimension of David Benjamin Sherryās colorful images of the American landscape, which reference icons of modernist photography; Andy Campbell on K8 Hardyās performance-based photography; Sophie Mƶrner on trans photographer Nitzan Krimskyās poignant self-documentation; Ana Finel Honigman on Dean Sameshimaās images created with appropriated vintage pornographic imagery; Dean Daderko on A.L. Steinerās antic and political photo-collages and installations; and Eva Respini considers Mark Morrisroeās fervent self-portraiture made during the 1980s.
