David Wojnarowicz & Marion Scemama
David Wojnarowicz asserted itself like one of the American artists impossible to circumvent of the Eighties. He is born in the New Jersey in 1954. Beaten and maltreated child, it flees in New York, discovers his homosexuality, lives in the street, remains thanks to the occasional prostitution. He crosses the United States in hitch-hiking. During the Eighties, he becomes a recognized artist (photographer, vidéaste, painter, sculptor and writer). He belongs to the artistic movement of the East Village and evolves/moves in the New Yorkean alternative medium (Nan Goldin, Richard Kern, Lydia Lunch, Kathy Acker…) Homosexual militant, savagely criticizes american company, it dies of the AIDS in 1992. (Note of the editions Disorders) It is because the creative work of David Wojnarowicz proceeds of all his life which it acquired a similar power. Whereas all seems known as and repeats, something emerges from the chaos of David Wojnarowicz who places to us in front of our responsibility to be for something in the course of the movement of the world.

Sex series and others
Sex series and others

by David Wojnarowicz, Marion Scemama and François Pain (1989-1998, 30')

David Wojnarowicz described by his hallucinatory art the shady fauna of the East Village, his furtive and anonymous sexual meetings, his political revolt against the american company, his homophobie and his ultra-conservatism vis-a-vis the epidemic of the AIDS, in particular.
The series of Sex Series and others, Co-realized with the scenario writers Marion Scemama, and François Pain results from their long friendship, and lets take shape the dreams and nightmares of Wojnarowicz, his rage in front of the treatment which reserve “the factory to be killed American” with marginal and misfits of the American dream.
