Product details
Aubade of a Broken Sky was written as a reaction to a similarly titled poem by Ocean Vuong - 'Aubade of a Burning City'. I was struck not only by his evocation of the Vietnam War, but by the visceral, raw quality of his writing. He often places pleasure and pain side by side, blurring the lines between the two in an unbearable way. Similarly, the photography of Peter Hujar - specifically the queer-centered collection 'Orgasmic Man' - blurs a similar line. You are unsure whether the subjects of the work are in pleasure or in pain. Yet you know in both cases that through being a witness to the art, you're trespassing on something intimate and private. My own work reacted to this - to how closely these innermost feelings sit to one another.
