1990: Silence = Death has become the motto of the Aids movement in the United States. Thousands of Aids victims demonstrate on the streets against the inadequate medical care system, against the lack of information from state and city government. In New York for instance, the number of artists dying of Aids is particularly high. All segments of this, the world metropolis of art, are affected: fashion, music, film, the visual arts, literature, the theater. Probably everyone living in New York is somehow involved with Aids, but the state leaves individuals completely alone.
