His book includes examples of different types of queer media, including various examples of film, portraits, and relational art, in an attempt to convey the most honest depiction of HIV\/AIDS possible. In an example of relational art, Hallas discusses Felix Gonzalez-Torres&#8217;s &#8220;AIDS-themed installation art,&#8221;\u00a0<em>Untitled, (Portrait of Ross in LA)\u00a0<\/em>(1991), which invites viewers to take a piece of candy with them, actively involving them in the representation of his partner&#8217;s life with AIDS. Hallas explains that gallery visitors are encouraged &#8220;to partake in their literal consumption, an act of both dismemberment and communion that blurs the distinction between the body of the artwork and its beholder&#8221; (230).<\/p>\n<p>#lgbtqexperiencesusa #queerfilm #AIDSepidemic #bearingwitness #felixgonzaleztorres<\/p>\n<p>(photo of cover taken by me of a book from RR Library.
