Abstract

Emerging out of in-person conversations, this interview was conducted over e-mail between May and September 2017. This is an edited version of that conversation. Max J. Andrucki and New York photographer Bryson Rand discuss the latter's recent body of work, Some Small Fever, emphasizing how Rand uses formal techniques like lighting and angles to queer his photos in ways that stage the queer home as a site of intimacy, community, and loss. They address how the work seems to produce and record a kind of "glitching" that informs the juxtaposition of bodies and objects in the photographs as both familiar and abject, registering an aesthetic of the queer domestic uncanny that archives an uneasy relationship between gay men, domesticity, sexuality, and memory.
