Pier 34 New York, Summer 83

Summer 83, NY. An abandoned warehouse on the banks of the Hudson River, Pier 34, at the foot of the World Trade Center, delivered to the elements, to anonymous homosexual encounters, to artists from the East Village, who came to find refuge in this cathedral space to create immense frescoes on the decrepit walls, sculptures placed in space. No signed work. An ephemeral museum, a place of artistic and sexual freedom, destroyed by the city a few months after this shooting. A unique testimony filmed in 16mm B&W in 1983 and edited 40 years later, in 2023.
