Description

1983年12月に「Gay International Inc.」が発行した、クィア層を対象としたアメリカの電話帳をリプリントした作品集。本作『Gay Areas Telephone Directory』は、今とは別の時代の遺産品である。携帯電話やインターネットが普及し、電話帳が廃止される以前は、このようなものはどの家庭でも固定電話のそばにあったものである。このクィア向けの電話帳は、レズビアンやゲイフレンドリーな企業や、その人たちのための広告や求人が掲載されているが、当時、そのようなビジビリティー(可視化)はほとんどなく、危険なものととらえられていたかもしれない。1983年はLGBTQの人たちにとって転機の年となった。その2年前に初めてHIV(エイズ)患者が報告され、その後10年間で50万人以上(主にLGBTQ)の命を奪うヘルスクライシス(健康危機)の始まりとなったのである。本書は、あるコミュニティとその文化の重要な発展段階における肖像であると同時に、エイズによって失われた世代のタイムカプセルでもある。

Gay Areas Telephone Directory is an artifact from another age. It is an exact facsimile of an American telephone directory published in December 1983 by Gay International Inc. and targeted at queer population. The phonebook is a now-obsolete format, but before mobile phones and the internet every household had one by the landline. This queer directory featured listings and advertisements for businesses friendly towards or catering to lesbians and gay men at a time when such visibility was a rare and possibly dangerous thing. 1983 was a watershed year for LGBTQ people. The first HIV/AIDS cases were reported barely two years before, marking the beginning of a health crisis that would go on to kill more than half a million (primarily LGBTQ) people within the next ten years. In addition to serving as a portrait of a community and its culture at a crucial stage of development, Gay Areas Telephone Directory stands as a time capsule of lost generation(s) felled by AIDS.
