Synopsis:

A comprehensive survey of AIDS over the last twenty years, featuring work by over one hundred award-winning photographers. In our world today, there are over forty million people living with HIV/AIDS - forty million different stories of hardship, pain and anger - but also of courage and resilience. Part of a major campaign against this global crisis, PANDEMIC is the first photographic survey of its kind. Featuring work by such acclaimed artists as Annie Leibovitz, Robert Mapplethorbe, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Nan Goldin, Sunil Gupta and Gilles Peress along with many others, PANDEMIC captures the diversity of approaches to this topic, in works that document and educate, agitate and protest, salute friends lost, and mourn the deaths of family and strangers alike.
