Photographie originale - Christopher Street Liberation Day March, New York - Sous la banderole
- Paris 1970, 19.5x30cm, 15 photographs. -
On June 28, 1970, I attended New York's first Gay Pride celebration. The date corresponds to the first anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which launched the LGBTQ+ liberation movement in the United States. We set off from Christopher Street, a hotbed of gay culture in Greenwich Village, and made our way up 6th Avenue to Central Park. To round off the day, a contest for the longest kiss was held in the middle of the park! It was a great moment of joy, love and freedom. This couple, who kissed for hours under an umbrella, clearly didn't care about photographers!" (Interview with Clément Thierry, 2021) Exceptional pictor
