Copyright© Alfredo JaarMore Information
This light-box work features an image of an Amazonian gold miner and comes from the portfolio In a Dream You Saw a Way to Survive and You Were Full of Joy, produced by Photographers and Friends Against AIDS. The edition of twenty-five was intended to raise funds for AIDS-related research and health care. It features photographs by Andres Serrano, Lorna Simpson, Joel-Peter Witkin, Jeff Wall, and others in a portfolio box designed by Jenny Holzer. Jaar’s involvement with this project illustrates the breadth of his social concerns, which may reach halfway around the world or land closer to home.
