Abstract:
This illustrated postcard depicts a man standing next to water. He is wearing a blue baseball cap and pants with a lavender shirt. He has dark hair and a mustache. His right arm is bent up at the elbow and his thumb is sticking up. A red band with the text A.I.D.S. spirals in from the horizon with the tip of the arrow pointing at the man's chest. Text on the back blames the A.I.D.S. epidemic on homosexuals in the United States. It reads: L'orgoglio onosex statunitense ha ferito se stesso: dalle "blak boxs" americano, luoghi di "contat to" promiscuo ed esasperato in sempre nuove esperienz, si è scatento, per contagio, un male incontrollato dalle conseguenze spesso irreparablii. Dagli eStats l'A.I.D.S. si è irradato nel mondo mietendo numerose vittime, testimonianza impietosa di una tragica lierbertà di vivere.
