Description

The Weight of the Earth: The Tape Journals of David Wojnarowicz Audio journals documenting David Wojnarowicz's turbulent attempts to understand his anxieties and passions, recorded in real time. In these moments, he grappled with the limitations of language, struggling to put words into action. Wojnarowicz's art was marked by its intensity and honesty, reflecting his own experiences with sex, death, violence, and the impact of HIV on his life. The Weight of the Earth presents a unique insight into the artist's inner world, as he navigated the art world, recounted his dreams, and expressed his rage, fear, and confusion about his diagnosis. Recorded primarily between 1987 and 1989, these audio journals offer an intimate and affecting record of an artist facing death, providing a powerful glimpse into the life and work of this important figure in the downtown New York art scene.
