Not sure when I first saw this photo, but it was probably online in the early 2010s. So that’s maybe 25 years after it was taken. I wasn’t aware of its history, who wore the jacket, or anything at all about its context. I wasn’t paying attention. When I finally understood what I was seeing—a photograph of a jacket worn by the artist David Wojnarowicz at an ACT UP action at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Rockville, MD on October 11, 1988—the message clicked into place./
