‘To be really successful, you have to be sexy in a straight way’: Ben Whishaw on libidinous New York and playing Peter Hujar Peter Hujar captured a queer Manhattan demi-monde that is now lost to Aids. Whishaw reveals what he learned playing the photographer in a minimalist film being hailed by some as a masterpiece

“I feel the lack of elders,” Whishaw says. “It’s like this massive gap, which is still so sad and shocking.” Ben #Whishaw on Peter #Hujar: “He literally stopped the minute he got the diagnosis.”
Many elders have survived and remain as a living AIDS archive.

Figure du New York bohème (70–80), il capte l’intensité de vies queer à l’ombre du sida. Ses portraits deviennent archives d’une beauté menacée et d’une résistance silencieuse.

Condoms, cows and contortions: Peter Hujar’s astonishing vision – in pictures The photographer was a key figure on New York’s downtown scene – but, as a new exhibition shows, his later works dealt with the great losses of the Aids crisis

'The exhibition also reveals the darkening tone of Hujar’s photography in the early 1980s, as the Aids crisis devastated his community, and his work entered into dialogue with the younger artist David Wojnarowicz.'
