American conceptual artist Pacifico Silano’s practice is rooted in excavating the printed ephemera of gay culture to create new images that comment on loss, longing and queer melancholy. In particular, Silano uses the gestures of framing, cropping and layering vintage gay erotica to comment on the HIV\/AIDS crisis and its reverberations on queer lives, which included the loss of the artist's uncle at the height of the epidemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e40pp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e40 colour plates\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e200 x 250 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eTrimmed hardcover with continuous leporello binding\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003enterview by José Diaz with the artist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Loose Joints\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1-912719-24-2\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ensemble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54107208646999,"sku":null,"price":63.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/6019\/7533\/files\/1_3efa65fa-fd22-44c9-8f2c-390347ae82ef.png?v=1784822041","url":"https:\/\/ensemble.biz\/products\/i-wish-i-never-saw-the-sunshine-pacifico-silano","provider":"Ensemble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
