Ecstatic antibodies

This book and the exhibition launches with it represent a powerful exploration in both image and text of the impact of the AIDS crisis. Different voices reveal the profound inadequacies in our attitudes to disease. The contributors disrupt the politically laden mythology of HIV and AIDS, and affirm the persistence of love and desire in the face of death. More than an interruption to personal life, AIDS has stimulated an eruption in creative life. By wresting control of the imagery of AIDS, Ecstatic antibodies demystifies icons like the nation and the family and illuminated attitudes to gender, sexuality, racial, and moral diversity. Ecstatic antibodies was defined to actively encourage cultureal practice. It was seen to include a variety of media bsed work using AIDS as its subject matter, including photography, installation, and video.
