It mak sense then, that Altu’s first llaboratn featur a chapter of queer history so signifint to male gayns. The scen are trsic to the gay sex and cisg culture of the time, and while their tenrns and raw sensualy and eroticism are evint to most, they are specifilly poignant to gay and queer folks. Altuzarra is a llector of gay art, some of his favore artists beg Tom of Fland, Robert Mapplethorpe, Salman Toor, and Peter Hujar.
“He is such a wonrful documentarian of a specific time durg which beg gay was really radil, ” Altuzarra said of the photographer’s work. “What is special about his work is that, to me, ’s really about love and timacy, and the fact that gay men had to go to the g of the cy to look for love and real nnectn, to fd moments of tenrns and timacy and sex. Dpe more acceptance, Grdr, Scff, and other apps are prevalent the gay muny, as is cisg.
Altuzarra is fascated by how gay inography and trop are exprsed art, both their satirizatn (like say, Tom of Fland’s work) and documentatn (Baltrop’s or Hujar’s), and Altu straddl the same divi popular culture. Two viral photos of Sivan the drs circled the ter days after he wore , enterg the ter’s non of gay inography: The first was a mirror selfie of him an Ottenberg, which folks jokgly utilized as an example of the “twk” and “daddy” gay trop; and the send was an image of the pop star standg ont of a ural, back turned agast the mera, taken by the Olympian Tom Daley on Rihanna’s requt (y, actually). His work was, a way, a love letter to the gay muny he was a part of.
